Giving an update on the outbreak of the disease in the country, the agency revealed in a Facebook post on Saturday that the new cases were confirmed in 10 states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
Data from the NCDC revealed that the figure reported on Friday is the highest number of cases to be recorded in the last 10 months.
