The total infection toll in Nigeria was at 323 on Sunday night after the NCDC announced five new Coronavirus cases.
Meanwhile, President Muhammadu Buhari in a broadcast on Monday night has ordered for the extension of the lockdown in Lagos, Ogun and Federal Capital Territory (FCT) by two weeks.
This is an extension of the initial 14-days lockdown in Lagos, Ogun and FCT ordered by President Buhari on March 29.
However, the extension according to President Buhari is due to the increase in number of confirmed cases and deaths despite the initial 14-days lockdown in those states.
