Two hundred and fifty new cases of COVID-19 cases were confirmed in Nigeria, Saturday night, with Plateau State recording 69, the highest figure for the day.
The NCDC confirmed this figure on its Twitter handle, which has become the reference point for official figures in the country.
The NCDC tweet reads: “250 new cases of #COVID19Nigeria; Plateau-69 FCT-41 Lagos-21 Delta-14 Kaduna-14 Bayelsa-13 Enugu-13 Ekiti-11 Bauchi-9 Ogun-8 Edo-7 Oyo-7 Rivers-6 Adamawa-4 Osun-4 Nasarawa-3 Ebonyi-2 Kwara-2 Gombe-1 Imo-1 53,727 confirmed 41,314 discharged 1,011 deaths.”
