Lassa Fever: Nigeria’s death toll reaches 185

As of last week, the number of deaths from the fever was 176, meaning nine people died from it within the week.

The five states with the highest number of confirmed cases are Edo with 309 confirmed cases and 39 deaths; Ondo, 305 confirmed cases and 43 deaths; Ebonyi with 72 cases and 15 deaths; Taraba with 55 cases and 21 deaths and Bauchi with 42 cases and 18 deaths.

Cumulatively, from week 1 to week 13, 185 deaths have been reported with a case fatality rate of 19.5 per cent.According to the statistics, cumulatively between weeks one and 13 in 2020, there were 4194 suspected cases, 951 confirmed, 14 probable and 185 deaths.
