The ongoing worldwide COVID-19 crisis not only affects the adult population, but has also put children at much greater risk of endangering their
lives. Although, the direct effects of COVID-19 infection on children in terms of hospitalizations, case fatalities, and deaths are less severe with relatively smaller
number of children experiencing severity of the COVID-19 disease1, emerging data suggest that children and adolescents’ health may be profoundly impacted
by the pandemic than originally thought in the initial phase of the pandemic.

In countries with little resources, like Nigeria, biosafety and biosecurity measures have proven challenging due to administrative, cultural, and
financial barriers. Diagnostic and research laboratories have made significant advancements in biosafety and biosecurity over the past ten years as a result
of increased awareness of biorisk management. Thus, it is more important than ever to find and fix biorisk management gaps. The clinical diagnostic laboratory's
goal is to consistently offer top-notch diagnostic services. Their goals are quality management, constant technical improvement, assurance of workplace safety,
and biosecurity.

Corona virus or COVID-19 is the largest pandemic airborne disease on the earth directs to a severe acute respiratory disorder. The corona virus
sickness causes serious viral pneumonia lead to loss of taste and smell and significant respiratory disappointment. [1, 2, 3] This airborne disease affect
the survival of individuals in the world and it has been the chief source of death in non-industrial countries. [1, 4] The human respiratory system offer natural
protection, such as the mucous membrane and cilia in the lining of the airways, which hold up virus from sticking to cell surfaces and facilitate their expulsion
by sneezing or coughing, but smoking, air pollution, bad nutrition, weak vaccine damage those potentials.

contributed to the development of Neuropsychology and other disciplines related to the disease (Cardenas et al. ., 2019); It has always been a challenge
to conceptualize the name of cerebral palsy in a unified way, however it has been denoted since ancient times by its symptoms that cause limitations in
daily activities or in the child in the first and subsequent moments of brain development (Amador and Montealegre, 2016 ).
