Of the number, 27 patients have fully recovered while five died.
NCDC tweeted, “Ten new cases of #COVID19 have been reported in Nigeria – six in Lagos State, two in FCT and two in Edo.
“As of 11:15 am on the 5th of April, there are 224 confirmed cases of #COVID19 reported in Nigeria. 27 have been discharged with five deaths.”
