On its official website on Tuesday, the NCDC stated that out of the 144 new infections, Lagos state reported 101 cases, while Abia confirmed 13 additional cases.

The agency said that the latest cases had increased the country’s infection toll to 262,664, while the fatality toll stood at 3,147.

Kaduna State logged three cases, Bauchi reported one, and Ekiti and Plateau states confirmed one case respectively.
