Cases on admission have also declined as recoveries improve.
More than two-thirds of the over 165,000 people infected by COVID-19 in Nigeria have recovered after treatment with a total of 156,420 discharged patients.With 18 new cases on Tuesday, Lagos remains the most affected city in Nigeria with over 58,000 new cases and more than 400 deaths.Last Monday, the Nigerian government announced the continuation of several restrictive measures retained in the third phase of the gradual easing of COVID-19 lockdowns in September 2020.
The restrictions included the work-at-home policy for staff below the level of grade level 12 in the public sector and curfew from midnight to 4a.m. A few days before the restrictions were re-imposed, a temporary ban was placed on non-Nigerian passengers from Brazil, India and Turkey following the recent surge in the spread of new variants of the disease in the three countries.
The NCDC said the reinforcement of the restrictions became even more necessary because of the delays in vaccine supply.
