Covid-19: Nigeria’s Infections Surpass 130,000.

Just within seven days after Nigeria’s infections tally surpassed 120,000, another 10,000 has just been added to the toll indicating how swift the virus has been spreading across the country.

The number of people, as of Saturday night, infected with COVID-19 stood at 130,557 after 1,883 new cases – one of the highest daily figures the country has witnessed – were reported in 23 states across the nation on Saturday.

Gistlover reports that the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) on its microsite announced Saturday night.

The grim milestone was reached as Nigerian authorities continue to shuffle plans to land the coronavirus vaccine.

Since early December, there has been an upscale in reported cases and deaths from COVID-19 as the country experiences the second wave of the pandemic.

However, the spike in daily infections seems to be concentrated more in Lagos, Abuja, Plateau and Kano states although other regions are also witnessing increases in daily figures

In Saturday’s tally, Lagos, Nigeria’s COVID-19 epicenter, led with 1,040 new cases, more than half of the daily tally. Abuja, the second most impacted city followed with 296 new infections.
