BREAKING: Nigeria Places Travel Ban On China, US, Italy, Iran, Others
The Nigerian government on Wednesday placed a travel ban on countries that have recorded over 1000 cases of coronavirus. Such countries include China, the United States, Italy, Iran, and South Korea.
The Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Mr. Boss Mustapha made this known to newsmen on Wednesday.
The SGF also revealed that those who arrived in the country in the last 15 days from the 13 countries, would be subjected to supervised 14 days of self-isolation.
Mustapha, who was accompanied by the Minister of Health, Dr. Osagie Ehinare, explained that the ban on the 13 countries became necessary because of their high-risk status in terms of the spread of the Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
The travel ban is set to take effect on March 21.
Jadesola O
Hi, I'm Jadesola and if you've been here a while, you'll know that Ekomiami has always existed without a face. That changes now. I founded this platform in Lagos in 2018, originally as a space for entertainment and celebrity news. Over time and across continents my world grew bigger and so did my curiosity. Today, Ekomiami is what it was always quietly becoming: a home for travel, food, arts, and culture, told through the eyes of someone navigating the world from a very particular vantage point. With a background in content and media production. I write and create about the places I go, the food I find, and the experiences that make travel feel like more than a holiday. You'll find me in Bordeaux wine bars, on Albanian coastlines, in English market towns, and at restaurant tables taking notes between courses. The name "Ekomiami", "Lagos to Miami" has always been about movement, ambition, and showing up somewhere new. Seven years in, I'm stepping out from behind it. Welcome to the journey, properly.
