Nigeria recorded 154 cases of coronavirus on Tuesday.
The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) announced this in its update for July 13, 2021.
The cases were recorded in eight states and the federal capital territory (FCT).
Lagos, the epicentre of the pandemic, recorded 119 cases followed by Akwa Ibom with 11 and Rivers with 6.
Other states that recorded cases include Oyo (5), Ekiti (4), Ogun (4), FCT (2), Gombe (2) and Kwara (1).
The agency said 147 people were discharged on Tuesday.
However, one person was said to have died of COVID complications.
Since the index case in February 2020, Nigeria has recorded 168,867 cases; 164,623 recoveries — and with 2,125 deaths.
Vietnam to combine Pfizer, AstraZeneca COVID vaccines for citizens
Vietnam says it will offer the Pfizer/BioNTech COVID vaccine as a second dose to people who received the AstraZeneca shot as their first shot.
“Pfizer vaccines will be prioritised for people who were given first shot of AstraZeneca 8-12 weeks before,” the government said in a statement.
Owing to concerns about blood clots in some vaccines, some countries are already combining different brands with some experts saying it triggers a stronger immune response.
However, the World Health Organisation (WHO) described the move as a “dangerous trend”.
The agency said there is no sufficient data to support the practice.
