However, as the number of people who get infected increases, so does the number of people who have been discharged. Currently, 2,385 people have been confirmed to be discharged and cured in Nigeria.

Almost half of the victims are in Lagos, Nigeria’s most affected state. It now has 3,756 infected people.

Kano State has the second highest number of infected persons in the country with 923 victims, while Abuja has the third highest number of infections with 519 victims.

No Coronavirus case has officially been reported in Kogi and Cross River states, but some say there may be outbreaks, just because people in those states have not been tested.
