Anxiety as Sanwo-Olu tests positive, El-Rufai in isolation amid second COVID-19 wave
Our Correspondents
Nigerians are beginning to express anxiety due to reports of a likely second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, amid an economic recession and job losses reputedly caused by the first wave of the pandemic.
This is as the Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu on Saturday tested positive for COVID-19, while his Kaduna State counterpart, Mallam Nasir El-Rufai, also on Friday evening announced that he was going into self-isolation as one of his family members and a government official tested positive for the virus.
It was the second time El-Rufai would go into isolation since February when the index case of the coronavirus was recorded in the country.
