Lagos State has recorded zero COVID-19 case or death from the virus for the first time, since the Nigeria recorded its first case in the state in February 2020.
Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) disclosed this on its official website on Friday.
Lagos, however, remains the epicentre of the virus in Nigeria with over a third of the total infections.
The NCDC did not give reason for the development. However, In the past, states that normally record new daily cases, such as Kano, did not record a new case on particular days because no test was carried out on those days, largely due to lack of reagents or workers’ protest.
