Nigeria Records Rise in Confirmed COVID-19 Cases

Matilda Omonaiye/

Nigeria recorded a significant increase in the number of confirmed COVID-19 cases yesterday with 120 new infections.

This represents a sharp increase in the number of confirmed cases compared to recent figures which have consistently remained below 50.

This is coming amidst growing aversion to the Astra-Zeneca vaccine being administered in the country due to reports of a rare blood clot, a development that has not been categorically addressed by the health authorities.

See breakdown yesterday’s figures released by Nigerian Centre for Disease Control below.
