The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) has announced six new cases of coronavirus in Osun State.

The announcement was made early on Friday, April 3, 2020, raising the state’s tally to 20 cases, the third highest in the country.
The new cases are believed to come from a cluster of travellers who came into the country from Ivory Coast, through Benin Republic, on Saturday, March 28.

The group of 127 travellers were immediately isolated in Ejigbo without coming into contact with the general public.
In a series of tests conducted on the group, three were first found to be positive, before nine additional cases were announced on Wednesday, April 1.

Even though Nigeria has closed its land borders, the government has stressed repeatedly that it cannot deny entry to Nigerians coming from abroad; although the Federal Government has made several appeals to them to stay where they are until the coronavirus crisis passes.

The Osun government has already ordered a shutdown of social and economic activities for a period of two weeks starting from March 31.
