The federal government of Nigeria has issued a new directive following the rising cases of positive Covid-19 cases around the world.

Geoffrey Okatubo, Director of Port Health Services, who made the announcement further revealed that there will be heightened surveillance and monitoring at points of entry following the worrying reports in countries like China, Japan and the United States of America.
