With 343 new cases confirmed in 13 states and the federal capital territory (FCT) on Thursday, Nigeria’s daily count of coronavirus infections recorded a significant increase — compared to recent figures.

This is the first time in more than three months that the country’s daily count will surpass 340.

Before December 3, 2020, the last time the daily count exceeded 340 positive samples was on August 22, when 601 new infections were confirmed — at the time, out of 51,905 cases, Nigeria had recorded 38,767 recoveries and 997 deaths.

In its update released at a few minutes after midnight on Thursday, the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) confirmed the new cases.

According to the breakdown, FCT topped the list with 123 new positive samples, followed by Lagos with 106 cases, and Kaduna with 72.

With the new cases, Nigeria’s total figure of COVID-19 cases has now passed 68,000.

Meanwhile, with 452 patients discharged on Thursday, the recovery count has now crossed 64,000

According to the NCDC, the new figure of discharged patients included 142 recoveries recorded in Lagos.

Two persons were confirmed to have died of coronavirus complications on Thursday, increasing the fatality toll to 1,179.
