The coronavirus was first discovered in Nigeria on February 27, after an Italian man arrived at the Murtala Mohammed Airport in Lagos.

He and the first person infected by the disease on March 20 Nigeria, was Mohammed Atiku, of which both have recovered and discharged from the hospital.

On Friday April 17, the coronavirus led to the death of Malam Abba Kyari, chief of staff to the Presidency. He is the highest-ranking man who has died in office from the virus.

Governors Bala Mohammed, Nasir El-Rufai and Seyi Makinde of Oyo State were all infected by the virus before finally recovering.

There is still one state in Nigeria that is yet to have any positive case in Nigeria, which is Cross River in – what some suspect is that the might have spread into the state for a long time and no testing has been carriedout.

Nigerian authorities say they have doubled the number of tests they are doing in the country, saying they have to do about 1,000 tests in 24 hours.
