The public health agency said that two new fatalities were recorded, pushing the total to 1,013.

NCDC noted that the new cases were reported from 13 states and FCT.

It revealed that Plateau again had the highest number of infections with 55 cases, while Lagos, Ebonyi and Oyo recorded 15, 11 and 11 cases, respectively.
