Meanwhile, Spain is the fourth-worst country hit by the virus as the number of cases as of March 19 stood at 14,769 while the death toll increased to 638 with only 1,081 recovered cases.
Meanwhile, the Nigerian government has reduced petrol price from N145 to N120 following the crash of oil.
The price of petrol has dropped to N120 from N145 following an approval given by President Muhammadu Buhari.
The decision was taken after a presentation by the Minister of State, Petroleum, Mr Timipre Sylva to the Federal Executive Council on Wednesday.
The Nigerian government and the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation confirmed the new price of N125 per litre on Twitter.
In compliance with the directives of the Honourable Minister of State for Petroleum Resources on PMS pricing, the Corporation has reviewed its Ex-coastal, Ex-depot and NNPC Retail pump prices accordingly.

It was learnt the reduction in petrol price became relevant following the crash in crude oil price due to the spread of Coronavirus.
Oil sells for about $29 per barrel, dropping from about $60 in December.
Sylva had hinted last week that the government was consulting on whether to cut the pump price of petrol and would come up with a decision soon.
