Abstract:
A synopsis of religion’s response to COVID-19 and related interventions for the period 2019 to 2022 is necessary. This brings in the role that the Church played in fulfilling her missionary role. Religion plays a critical role in national health matters and this is true with regards to COVID-19 as well. The various religious groups involved included Christian Churches, and African Traditional Religious adherents. Religion’s response to COVID-19 and remedies were on one hand positive and on the other, negative. There was an interface between political and religious leaders in trying to fight the COVID-19 pandemic. Religious utterances became popular as nations were hard hit by the effects of COVID-19.
