On Monday, 16 states reported at least a case of the virus.

The NCDC stated:

On the 4th of May, 245 new confirmed cases and 6 deaths were recorded in Nigeria.

245 new cases of #COVID19 reported; 76-Lagos, 37- Katsina, 32 – Jigawa, 23 – Kano, 19 – FCT, 18- Borno, 10 – Edo, 9 – Bauchi, 6 – Adamawa, Oyo and Ogun reported 5 cases, Ekiti, Osun, Benue, Niger and Zamfara reported one case each.

As at 11:46 pm 4 May – 2802 confirmed cases of #COVID19 reported in Nigeria. Discharged: 417 Deaths: 93.

The newly recorded cases bring the total number of COVID-19 cases in the country to 2,802 including 417 patients who have been discharged after recovery, and 93 deaths.

Nigeria, it was gathered, has so far tested 18,536 persons since pandemic broke out in the country.

A breakdown of the 2,802 confirmed cases shows that Lagos State has so far reported 1,183 cases, followed by Kano – 365, FCT – 297, Borno – 100, Gombe – 96, Kaduna – 81, Ogun – 85, Bauchi – 80, Sokoto – 66, Edo – 62, Katsina – 83, Osun – 37, Oyo and Jigawa – 39, Delta – 17, Kwara and Akwa Ibom – 16, Rivers – 14, Yobe, Zamfara and Ondo – 13, Ekiti, Adamawa, Kebbi – 13, Nasarawa – 11, Enugu and Taraba – 8, Ebonyi and Bayelsa – 5, Plateau – 3, Niger – 4, Imo, Benue and Abia – 2 while Anambra has one case.

Following the relaxation of the lockdown in the major states, there are fears that Nigeria may become the epicentre of the disease in Africa as findings revealed that Nigerians, especially in Lagos, have failed to follow the directives of the NCDC as they went about their businesses.

President Muhammadu Buhari had in his last nationwide broadcast called for the relaxation of the lockdown as citizens mounted pressure on the government to allow the resumption of economic activities in various parts of the country.
