The Nigerian Centre for Disease Control has given an update on the cases of Covid-19 in the country.
The numbers have grown from single digits in the last week of February and early March, to three digit numbers.
According to the NCDC, “117 new cases of #COVID19 have been reported;
59 in Lagos

As at 11:25 pm 21st April there are 782 confirmed cases of #COVID19 reported in Nigeria.

I dare to predict that the lock down will be extended for another two weeks and might include the whole country this time.
