The Director-General of the NCDC, Dr CHIKWE IHEKWEAZU, disclosed this during the resumed briefing of the Presidential Steering Committee on Monday in Abuja.

Dr. IHEKWEAZU listed Lagos, Rivers, and Oyo states as well as the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), as the places where at least one case of the Delta variant of COVID-19 has been confirmed in the country.

Nigeria has however received four million and eighty doses of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine donated by the Biden-Harris administration of the United States of America.
