Coronavirus: Ban travel from countries with High Risk – Senate tells the FG

The Nigerian Senate has asked the Federal Government to consider banning non-Nigerian travellers from countries with a high risk of coronavirus.

The request was made today after the Senate adopted a point of order raised at the plenary session by Ibrahim Oloriegbe, its health committee chairman.

The Senator, however, said in addition to the ban, other prevention and control practices, Nigeria should as well restrict travels to worst-hit countries to curb the spread of the virus.
