Lagos State’s Commissioner for Health, Professor Akin Abayomi that the estimated number of COVID-19 cases in Lagos may rise to 120,000 by July.

He said the July projection is based on the government model following the reported cases recorded in one day.

On Thursday (yesterday) COVID-19 cases in Lagos surged by 183, a record for the state as Nigeria witnessed its highest number of infections in a day.

The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control confirmed a total of 381 new cases for the day.

It is the largest number of cases to be confirmed in a day since the first case of COVID-19 was reported in the country on February 27, 2020.
