With the latest figure, the total Covid-19 infection tally in the country is now 159,646, according to an update published by the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) Wednesday night.
After reporting a daily average of over 1,000 infections between December 2020 and January, infection figures have relatively reduced with daily cases hovering between 195 and 709 in the past two weeks.
The 195 cases on Saturday are the lowest reported since August 31, 2020, when there were 138 new infections.
While Nigeria’s COVID-19 daily infection figures have significantly reduced, the death tally from the disease has remained relatively high, indicating that the country is not yet out of the woods.
About 1,993 deaths have now been recorded from coronavirus in Nigeria after five more people died on Wednesday, according to NCDC data.
Tuesday’s death figure raised the fatality toll in the past eight days to 86 in total.
