“This spike brings positive cases to a total of 32,720 in Lagos alone.
This second wave comes with severe symptoms, and the higher number of positive cases we detect, the higher number of casualties we’re bound to record. We do not want this, but for this to be avoided, we must be intentional and cautious,” the Governor added.
Sanwoolu also noted that the State does not want to go into another lockdown, and also advised that every Lagosian follow the Covid-19 protocols.
“We also do not want to go into another lockdown. It is important that you wear your masks, avoid crowded areas, wash or sanitize your hands regularly, and practice social distancing.
“2021 will only work for us if we take #COVID19 seriously and follow the guidelines laid down by Lagos State Ministry of Health. We simply cannot afford to be complacent at this time. #TakeResponsibility” He said.
