North East Nigeria: COVID-19 Point of Entry Dashboard 60 (10 – 16 July 2021) – Nigeria

During the COVID-19 pandemic, IOM’s Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM), in collaboration with the World Health Organization (WHO), monitors the movement to and from Nigeria’s Adamawa and Borno States, located in the North East Zone. Assessments are conducted at Points of Entry located along the border with Cameroon.

During the period 10 – 16 July 2021, 201 movements were observed at three Points of Entry in Borno State. Of the total movements recorded, 101 were incoming from Cameroon’s Far North Region and 28 incoming from Ndjamena in Chad, while 135 were outgoing from Borno State to Cameroon‘s Far North Region.

A range of data is collected during the assessment to better inform on travellers’ nationalities, sex, reasons for moving, mode of transportation and timeline of movement as shown in figures 1 to 4 below.
