State governments have revived their various isolation centres in preparation for possible admission of COVID-19 cases, as the numbers continue to rise across the country.
Punch reports that officials of states including Ogun, Gombe, Benue, Lagos, Ondo and Sokoto, confirmed they had enough bed spaces to admit COVID-19 patients.
The number of officially confirmed COVID-19 infections hit 236, 014 as at Saturday, while the rate of full vaccination was stalled at 3.9 per cent.
Despite the increasing cases, the Nigeria Police Force, the military, and other security agencies have failed to enforce the compulsory vaccination mandate for their personnel.
On Friday, the country recorded 1,584 new cases, while on Saturday the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control confirmed 1,305 new cases of the virus.
The agency added that on Saturday alone, 21 persons died of COVID-19 complications bringing the fatality toll across the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory to 3,014.
