Recognizing the importance of handwashing in preventing the spread of COVID-19, concerns have arisen about the condition of millions of Africans who lack access to hygiene facilities and clean water services.

Health disparities in Nigeria affect the distribution of water and hygiene services among poor populations, which can lead to a disproportionate impact on public health outcomes during a pandemic outbreak such as COVID-19. The disparity in handwashing facility coverage across sub-Saharan Africa paints a disturbing picture of health inequality that reveals the vulnerability of the poor to the COVID-19 pandemic.	./cache/cord-347109-vgubi2k8.txt	./txt/cord-347109-vgubi2k8.txt
