The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC), has reported 864 new coronavirus infections in the country.
The health agency disclosed this via its verified Twitter account on Thursday night.
The centre also confirmed the nation’s death toll to now stand at 1,547, adding that Lagos State recorded zero infection.
Thursday’s relatively low figure occurred because no data was included from Lagos, the epicentre of the disease in Nigeria, which on Wednesday recorded almost half of the day’s total.
The agency disclosed that FCT recorded the highest toll with 129 cases, followed by Anambra, 87.
