COVID-19 - For The First Time, Reported Cases Fell to the Lowest in Nigeria

 

438 new cases of the disease were on Saturday, which simply means that coronavirus cases reported in the country (Nigeria) fell to the lowest in the last weeks. 

Unlike before when NCDC usually report cases of 500 plus figures in the past weeks, only 438 cases were reported on the 25th of July, 2020. 

The NCDC is yet to explain the reason for fewer numbers especially since 59 testing centers are now operational.

Of the figure released, Lagos returned to the top with 123 cases, also lower than the 168 logged on Friday.

Kaduna posted 50 cases, Rivers 40, Edo 37, and Adamawa 25.

Oyo State that recorded a huge 191 cases on Friday got only 20 on Saturday.

The 438 confirmed cases came from 24 states.
