Nigeria records highest coronavirus cases yet

Nigeria has recorded its highest daily coronavirus caseload yet: 663 new cases in one fell swoop.

The figure gave it a new total of 13,464, with only four deaths reported.

Lagos kept its frontline status by recording 170 cases.

The biggest surprises were Ogun, Lagos’s neighbour and Bauchi in the Nigerian north east.

Ogun recorded 108 cases, its highest since the daily reporting began.

It is now the fourth worst-hit by the virus in Nigeria, with 471 cases, overtaking Edo state with 462.

Bauchi also posted another all-time high of 69 cases. It is No. 11 with 364 cases.

Ebonyi, in east of Nigeria registered 49 cases, also its highest yet.
