Eleven new cases of coronavirus have been announced by the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control barely two hours after earlier reporting nineteen cases.
The fright-filled announcement means Nigeria recorded the highest increase in COVID-19 cases within 24 hours as the 11 cases were reported in Lagos bringing the total number of COVID-19 cases to 373.
The disease control agency earlier on Tuesday reported nineteen (19) cases as Akwa Ibom got one more patient.

In what caused a huge scare, NCDC announced the new eleven cases – meaning Nigeria recorded the highest number of coronavirus cases within the run of twenty-four hours.
In a tweet by the centre at exactly 11:00 pm, all the eleven cases were recorded in Lagos as the COVID-19 toll in Nigeria’s economic capital tragically rose to 214.
The total number of all cases is now 373 while 99 patients have been successfully discharged with 11 deaths recorded since the outbreak of the disease in the country in February.
