Nigeria’s new COVID-19 cases have soared to 245 with 93 deaths in the country.
The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control stated this in its Twitter handle, bringing the total number of cases to 2,802 in the country.
NCDC tweets on Monday “245 new cases of #COVID19; 76-Lagos 37-Katsina 32-Jigawa 23-Kano 19-FCT 18-Borno 10-Edo 9-Bauchi 6-Adamawa 5-Oyo 5-Ogun 1-Ekiti 1-Osun 1-Benue 1-Niger 1-Zamfara.
According to it, “2802 confirmed cases of #COVID19 in Nigeria Discharged: 417 Deaths: 93.″
Meanwhile, 4,000 Nigerians from across the world need evacuation in the face of the ravaging COVID-19 pandemic.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr Geoffery Onyeama said this while fielding questions from journalists at the daily news briefing by the Presidential Task Force (PTF) in Abuja.
Onyeama, however, noted that the lack of bed spaces to isolate the evacuees is the major challenge that the government is grappling with.
