The director-general of NCDC, Dr. Ifedayo Adetifa, who disclosed this at a press briefing yesterday in Abuja, said 40 local government areas had active outbreak.

Ifedayo, who was represented by the assistant director and head of response division at NCDC, Dr Aderinola Olaolu, linked the increase in the risk of measles to  the impact of COVID-19 which he said had continued to be felt across several areas including the probable increase in yellow fever outbreaks due to delayed planned vaccination campaigns.

On Lassa fever, he said there had been 909 confirmed cases and 170 deaths as at week 34, from 25 states and 101 LGAs.

“Of all confirmed cases, 70 percent are from Ondo, Edo and Bauchi States,” he said.
