Highlights

  • Total Number of Cases – 240,387
  • Total Number Discharged – 213,491
  • Total Deaths – 3,030
  • Total Tests Carried out – 3,823,309

The 1,355 new cases are reported from 10 States -Lagos (1,036), Nasarawa (92), Delta (58), FCT (57), Edo (44), Rivers (25), Kano (23), Enugu (11), Plateau (6), and Bayelsa (3). The number of cases recorded on Wednesday represents a 126.2% increase compared to 599 cases recorded on the previous day.

As of press time, a total of 3.82 million tests have been carried out across the country, representing less than 2% of the entire population.

Meanwhile, the latest numbers bring Lagos state total confirmed cases to 93,754 followed by Abuja (27,104), Rivers (14,350), Kaduna (10,485), Plateau (10,201), Oyo (9,776), Edo (7,475), Ogun (5,694), Ondo (4,874), Kano (4,709), Akwa Ibom (4,487), Kwara (4,228), Osun (3,107), Enugu (2,929), Gombe (2,784), Nasarawa (2,609), Anambra (2,489), Katsina (2,377), and Imo (2,310).

Abia State has recorded 2,129 cases, Ebonyi (2,062), Benue (1,907), Ekiti (1,904), Bauchi (1,857), Borno (1,532), Bayelsa (1,296), Taraba (1,269), Adamawa (1,157), Niger (1,077), Sokoto (810), Cross River (704), Jigawa (627), Yobe (502), Kebbi (470), Zamfara (375), while Kogi state has recorded 5 cases only.

What this means

The recent increase in daily number of cases implies that Nigeria has entered the fourth wave of the pandemic. By implication, the sudden surge in the number of daily cases in Nigeria especially at a time when Omicron virus is spreading across major European countries leading to movement restrictions, could cause some form of movement restrictions.

With the current Christmas festivities in the country, which is usually characterised with crowd movement, hanging out, and other forms of celebration, an uncontrolled spread of the virus could be counterproductive for the recovery of the economy.
