UPDATE 1-Nigeria's confirmed coronavirus cases pass 30,000 -NCDC

LAGOS, July 8 (Reuters) - Nigeria's confirmed coronavirus
cases passed 30,000 on Wednesday, the country's disease control
centre said, as the virus spreads in Africa's most populous
country amid an easing of restrictions put in place to curb the
disease.
The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC), in its daily
update posted on its website, said there were 460 new cases
taking the total number of recorded cases to 30,249. NCDC said
these had led to 684 deaths.
The country of 200 million inhabitants has, like many other
African nations, so far avoided the high death rates of the
United States, Brazil and parts of Europe. But health experts
fear a lack of reliable data means the virus could be spreading
unchecked in Africa. Fearing the economic toll of the pandemic, Nigerian
authorities have in recent weeks relaxed restrictions imposed to
prevent the spread of the virus.
The resumption of domestic flights on Wednesday was the
latest step and came a week after a ban on interstate travel was
lifted.
