The first confirmed case relating to the COVID-19 pandemic in Nigeria was announced on 27 February 2020, when an Italian citizen in Lagos tested positive for the virus, caused by SARS-CoV-2. On 9 March 2020, a second case of the virus was reported in Ewekoro, Ogun State, a Nigerian citizen who had contact with the Italian citizen.
Since then, the number of cases has been increasing steadily with almost all states of the federation reporting at least one case.
