712 new coronavirus cases and four deaths attributed to the disease were recorded on Christmas day, across 20 states in Nigeria, according to health authorities.
With the latest figure, the total infections in the country has increased to over 82,747. The total fatality toll is now 1,246. This is according to an update Friday night by the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC). Health experts believe the lowering of guard on safety and the weak enforcement of protocols by officials, especially in the country’s major airports in Abuja and Lagos, could be responsible for the recent spread, noting that the situation could get worse if citizens keep violating safety protocols.
