The University of Ibadan Committee on COVID-19 Data Analysis and Management has predicted that the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases in Nigeria will be at least 312 by Friday, April 3.
Nigeria currently has 111 confirmed cases of COVID-19.
A graphical report shared by UI’s Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Research, Innovation and Strategic Partnership, Prof. Olanike Adeyemo, on her Facebook wall “shows the rate at which the infection is being transmitted among those who were exposed to COVID-19”.
Acccording to the explanatory note on one of the graphs, “approximately 70.4 per cent of those people currently infected with COVID-19 were initially exposed to the disease on day 12 of the occurrence of the disease in Nigeria.
“The predictive model is an indication that the disease will continue to be on the increase in the days ahead and that time, in days, accounted for 89.0 per cent of the variation in the cumulative confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Nigeria.
“If the current trend continues, the number of confirmed cases of COVID-19 is expected to be at least 312 by 3rd April, 2020.”
