“We are currently in the middle of the third wave of #COVID19 in Nigeria. Transmission is driven mainly by the Delta variant, which has been associated with increased transmission."

"There will be occasional increases and decreases in the number of deaths, but generally the case fatality ratio has stayed below 2 per cent.”
