Full list: 20 LGs account for 60% COVID-19 cases in Nigeria – PTF

The Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 says 20 Local Government Areas account for 60 per cent of coronavirus cases in Nigeria.

Daybreak reports that Lagos Mainland Local Government, Abuja Municipal, Mushin (Lagos), Eti-Osa (Lagos), and  Tarauni (Kano) have the highest cases in the country.

The chairmen of PTF and Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Mr Boss Mustapha, made this known at the COVID-19 daily news conference on Monday in Abuja.

According to him, Nigeria is ready to allow science and data to determine her cautious advancement into the second phase of the eased lockdown for a period of four weeks.

He said, “It is the consideration of the PTF that while Nigeria’s confirmed cases have increased in the period under review, the following factors should inspire confidence in the response.

“The majority of the confirmed cases are in a handful of local government areas in the country as 20 out of the 774 LGAs nationwide account for 60 per cent of the cases.”

Mustapha explained that Nigeria has not reached the “peak” of COVID-19 infections.
