patients – three females and one male – have recovered fully, tested negative
twice and have been discharged.
“This gives us a lot of hope as we continue to listen to our
health experts and provide the resources to beat COVID-19.”
Speaking on the spread of the virus in the state,
Commissioner for Health in Lagos, Prof Akin Abayomi, said, “The graph is
flattening. As our numbers increase, we may see some critical cases. From the
numbers we have, we don’t have many numbers like that of Europe.
“Social distancing is so effective. You may be infected and
have mild symptoms. We have only one or two cases that are severe.
“Eti-Osa Local Government has the highest number of
confirmed cases in Lagos State. 91 per cent of confirmed #COVID-19 cases in
Lagos are Nigerians, nine per cent are foreigners.”
