    Lagos got the highest number of new cases per state with 97, a huge reduction from 176 recorded the day before. This brings its total confirmed cases to 1,764 representing 42.4% of total cases in the country.

    Bauchi has the second-highest number of daily new cases with 44. This brings its total confirmed cases to 161 as the northeastern state finished 4th on the log after jumping three places from the 7th it finished the day before.

    With 29 new cases, Kano remained second on the log with a total of 576 confirmed cases while Abuja remained in third spot with 7 new cases and a total of 343.

    Kogi and Cross River state both remain without a single recorded case even though the Kogi situation especially, continues to be in doubt. 34 states, as well as the FCT, have recorded at least one case.

    Recoveries, deaths and active cases

    A total of 66 new recoveries were recorded in the country within the last 24 hours. This brings the total number of discharged cases to 745 and puts the nation’s recovery rate at 17.9%, up from 17.3% recorded the day before.
