Nigeria has recorded 386 new cases of COVID-19, bringing the total number of confirmed cases in the country to 3,912.
The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) made this known via its verified Twitter handle on Friday.
The 386 new cases are the highest Nigeria has ever recorded in 24 hours since the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic in the country.
It tweeted: “386 new cases of #COVID19; 176-Lagos, 65-Kano, 31-Katsina, 20-FCT 17-Borno 15-Bauchi 14-Nasarawa 13-Ogun 10-Plateau 4-Oyo 4-Sokoto 4-Rivers 3-Kaduna 2-Edo 2-Ebonyi 2-Ondo 1-Enugu 1-Imo 1-Gombe 1-Osun.”
In the meantime, the problem of scarcity of reagents is still hampering the rate at which residents of Nigeria are being tested for the novel coronavirus.
