The coronavirus pandemic has swept around the world and infected over 38 million people and killed over one million globally.
Nigeria has recorded over 60,000 cases and over 1,000 deaths, but infection rates have dropped over the past few weeks, even though officials are concerned that is due to the drop in testing rate.
Many sectors that were shut down in March have steadily reopened since restrictions started getting relaxed in May.
There is no mass-produced vaccine yet for the novel disease, and none is expected till 2021.
