Before Monday, the last highest figure was the 1,145 cases recorded on December 12, 2020.

In about a month, daily cases in the country averaged 600 for the first time since the pandemic reached Nigeria in late February with the spread concentrated in the country’s two major entry points and hardest-hit cities – Lagos and Abuja.

Active cases in the country rose sharply from about 3,000 some weeks ago to over 11,000 due to a rise in new infections. Lagos led with 604 new cases, more than half of Monday’s tally. The commercial city is Nigeria’s coronavirus epicentre with a total of nearly 32,000 cases and about 250 deaths.
