It has been reported that Nigeria has reported its highest number of COVID-19 cases in a single day.
This new number of infections broke a record set just one week ago as the virus continues to spread rapidly across the nation.
On Friday, barely a day after Nigeria announced it’s worst day of the pandemic with 23 lives lost, a total of 1,867 new infections were found in 23 states across the country – the highest daily infection toll ever.
Cases have been on the rise as the second wave of the coronavirus continues to spread.
One in every six persons (16 per cent) tested for COVID-19 in Nigeria in the past two weeks were positive.
The 1,867 new cases pushed the total number of infections in the country to 107,345.
