Human rights lawyer, Femi Falana (SAN), has asked the Nigerian government to impose mandatory Covid-19 tests for travellers coming to Nigeria from China. Falana's call for the restriction followed the reported Covid-19 surge in China.

Italy subsequently began to impose travel restrictions on travellers arriving from China.
