The number of daily covid-19 cases recorded in the country has continued to rise significantly in the month of July after a reported case of the highly dangerous delta variant of the coronavirus was detected in the country.

With the rate on the chart moving upward, Nigeria may well be on its way into the third wave of the pandemic. Recall, that Nairametrics had earlier reported that Lagos State continues to bear the brunt of covid-19 spread.

However, other states have also recorded a significant increase in the number of new covid-19 cases. Notably, according to the NCDC, Lagos State topped the list of new cases on Friday with 172 cases, followed by Akwa Ibom (62), Oyo (33), Rivers (32) amongst others.

As of the time of writing this article, the top 10 states with the highest number of cases are:

  • Lagos (61,865)
  • Abuja (19,944)
  • Kaduna (9,127)
  • Plateau (9,069)
  • Rivers (7,477)
  • Oyo (6,958)
  • Edo (4,914)
  • Ogun (4,729)
  • Kano (4,007)
  • Ondo (3,500)

What this means

This is a major setback for Nigeria, as it hopes to recover from the impact of the lockdown on its economy in 2020. A third wave would only mean, more stringent measures by the federal government, which could cause more harm to a struggling economy.
