BACKGROUND: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-COV-2) is the causative agent of COVID-19. This study aimed to assess the preventive behavior, and responses to national preparedness and response readiness to the COVID-19 outbreak by Healthcare workers in Nigeria. METHODS: A cross-sectional survey of 1200 HCW was carried out, three hundred and forty-six (346) responded to the online questionnaire on demographic characteristics, national preparedness, and preventive behavior towards COVID-19 by HCWs. Descriptive analysis of variables in the form of tables and graphs was carried out. A binary logistic regression analysis was applied and expressed as odds ratio (OR) at a 95% confidence interval (C.I) and p-value of 0.05 as significant values. RESULTS: Of the (346) HCWs, 249 (72.0%) were males, 214 (61.8%) belong to the age group 30-39 years, age group of between 20 and 49 years were more likely to be anxious about been infected of SARS-CoV-2. HCWs in the S.E. region were 35 times more likely to use a face mask (OR 35.0; 95% C.I 3.48-370.41; P = 0.0003), and 140 (40.5%) of the HCWs supported one health approach for containing the spread of COVID-19. HCWs were anxious (OR = 5.885; 95% C.I: 1.634-20.973; p = 0.007) about their families becoming infected with SARS-CoV-2 because of their occupation. CONCLUSION: The national preparedness and response to the COVID-19 outbreak in Nigeria were below expectations. Healthcare workers were worried about infection with SARS-CoV-2. One health approach is recommended for the fight against the infectious disease of animal origin like COVID-19.
