Highlights From NCDC

• On the 13th of May 2020, 184 new confirmed cases and 6 deaths were recorded in Nigeria
• No new state has reported a case in the last 24 hours.
• Till date, 4971 cases have been confirmed, 1070 cases have been discharged and 164 deaths have been recorded in 34 states and the Federal Capital Territory
• The 184 new cases are reported from 22 states- Lagos(51), Jigawa(23), Bauchi(16), Katsina(16), Kano(14), FCT(10), Rivers(10), Kwara(9), Delta(5), Kaduna(5), Sokoto(4), Oyo(4), Kebbi(3), Nasarawa (3), Osun(3), Ondo(2), Ebonyi(1), Edo(1), Enugu(1), Anambra(1), Plateau (1), Niger (1)

The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control at the end of today reported a total of 184 new confirmed cases with 51 in Lagos and 23 in Jigawa taking the lead for the day.

The good news however is a huge increase in the recovery rate as the NCDC reported 1070 people have been discharged which is a little over 20% of confirmed cases. This indicates that whatever treatment is being administered is working and maybe Nigerians could learn to live with the virus and ho about their daily business.

It can also be observed that even though the lockdown has been relaxed, the number of daily confirmed cases is reducing and if the recovery rate persists, things might go to normal earlier than we hoped for.

Despite this development, the number of fatalities still stands at 164 which is a message that COVID'19 is indeed real for those doubting it. The need to take necessary precautions cannot be overemphasized, washing of hands regularly and use of proper face mask is very paramount.

Social distancing and abiding by federal and state lockdown rules are also very important. Stay home, stay safe and above all stay sane.
