The Nigeria center for disease and control has confirmed 1,633 people tested for covid-19.
While the new cases were confirmed in the agency’s update for January 23, 2021, it is the 20th consecutive day that the country will confirm over 1,000 new coronavirus infections in a single-day count.
The development comes hours after the country hit its highest single-day count, with over 2,000 new cases recorded for the first time ever.
Although the NCDC had initially
given the Friday number as 1,483, at the time, the figure for Lagos had not been added; 831 new cases were later confirmed for Lagos on Saturday afternoon, increasing the January 22 count to 2,314 positive samples.
