Some private schools in Lagos have taken the initiative to announce closure from Thursday without any prompting from the Ministry of Education,
This is coming as the Federal Government announced five new cases of coronavirus, bringing the national total to eight.
Schools still have two weeks to end the current term and this is a period many of them conduct the second term examination.
However, schools are suspending examinations to close immediately.
Some of the high-profile schools that have announced closure include Greensprings School, which has branches in Anthony, Ikoyi and Awoyaya; and Lagos Preparatory and Secondary School, Ikoyi.
While Greensprings is closing March 18, LPSS shut down on Wednesday.
Both schools have opted for e-learning for pupils while they are at home.
