Nigeria extends gradual easing by 2 weeks

Meanwhile, Nigerian authorities extended the phased easing of lockdown across the country to contain the spread of COVID-19.

The Federal Government announced on Monday it would impose precisely targeted lockdown measures in areas that report rapid increases in cases of the coronavirus, while the phased reopening of the economy as a whole would go ahead more slowly than planned.

Meanwhile, the government has extended a full lockdown in Kano state, where authorities are investigating a spate of mysterious deaths that have not been linked to coronavirus. Kano has the second-highest number of confirmed cases in the country after Lagos.

The government said its phased reopening of strict lockdowns in Lagos, Abuja, and Ogun states would go more slowly than initially planned, and the current phase of gradual reopening would last a further two weeks.
