Africa Press-Nigeria:<\/p>\n

The Nigerian Centre for Disease Control (NCDC), has said that the confirmed cases of Coronavirus in the country is 209 and not 210 as earlier reported.<\/p>\n

Recall that NCDC had said that as at 10:30 pm on 3rd April, there were 210 confirmed cases of COVID- 19 reported in Nigeria.<\/p>\n

However, a follow up tweet on Saturday said it reported an error.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn 3rd of April 2020, we reported 26 new cases of #COVID19 in Nigeria. An error has been discovered in this report as follows:<\/p>\n

\u201c There were 25 new cases of #COVID19 in Nigeria. The 26th case was a repeat result of a previously confirmed case and NOT a new case<\/p>\n

\u201cOf the 25 new cases reported, 1 case was inadvertently reported from Osun state. This case was from OYO STATE<\/p>\n

\u201cThe correct breakdown is as follows:As at 10:30 pm 3rd April, there are 209 confirmed cases; 25 discharged, 4 deaths.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe regret the error in our announcement of new #COVID19 cases in Nigeria yesterday.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe NCDC remains committed to ensuring transparency and accurate reporting of infectious disease cases in Nigeria,\u201d the tweet read.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
