Some countries across the globe are still experiencing a surge in COVID-19 cases.
Globally, there have been more COVID-19 cases reported in the last two weeks than during the first six months of the pandemic, according to the World Health Organisation (WHO).
As a precautionary measure to minimise the risk of a surge in COVID-19 cases, Nigeria last Sunday announced a temporary ban on non-Nigerian passengers who have been in Brazil, India or Turkey within 14 days of intended arrival into Nigeria.
These countries are experiencing a surge in COVID-19 cases and health authorities said more than half of last week’s COVID-19 cases were reported in India and Brazil.
