Africa-Press<\/a> – Nigeria<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>As the second wave of Covid-19 virus infection ravages Nigeria, the death toll in Kwara State has risen to 31.<\/p>\n

A Covid-19 Kwara update released in Ilorin by the government, on Tuesday, also announced 19 new confirmed cases.<\/p>\n

Total number of confirmed cases is now put at 1245, with 11255 as total tests done.<\/p>\n

One hundred and twenty active cases have so far in the State, while 1094 patients have been discharged.<\/p>\n

According to the update, 9950 tests returned negative, while 60 tests are being awaited.<\/p>\n

DAILY POST recalls that Dr Femi Oladiji, Chairman, state Medical Advisory Committee Covid-19, last week cautioned residents of the State on the spike in the spread of the virus.<\/p>\n

He urged residents, to among other things, adhere strictly to preventive measures at all times to mitigate the spread of the virus, which he blamed on the non-challant attitude of many residents, non-adherence to preventive measures and influx of people from other states and overseas.<\/p>\n

Oladiji said the second wave started early in November with sharp rise in the number of positive cases.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
