Nigeria's government on Thursday warned that Africa's most populous nation could soon see an 'exponential' increase in coronavirus infections unless contacts of confirmed cases are tracked down quicker.

A priest measures the body temperature of Lagos State Commissioner for Home Affairs, Olanrewaju Elegushi , on inspection to enforce the government directive against social gatherings at the Methodist Church of Trinity, Tinubu in Lagos, on March 22, 2020. – Nigeria, the most populated country in Africa, on Saturday tightened restrictions in three states on places of worship, airports and bars to try and protect its population against the COVID-19 coronavirus.

The country of around 190 million people has so far recorded just 51 infections and 1 death, but testing has been limited. “We are on the verge of reaching the level of community spread. We must stop this immediately or we will record exponential cases in the days ahead.”
