Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has stated that COVID-19 third wave has hit the state.
In an address on Sunday, the governor directed that religious, event centres and other enclosed places are to henceforth operate at 50 percent capacity.
According to him, since the end of March 2021, the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in Lagos began to wind down and he regretted that in spite of the hard work and dedicated efforts towards sustaining the return to normalcy; the state is finding itself at the beginning of a potential third wave.
He stated that between 8th May 2021 and 7th July 2021, a total of 50,322 passengers of interest came into Lagos via the Murtala Mohammed Airport. Also, about 18 percent could not be reached by EKOTELEMED due to the provision of either wrong numbers or wrong Nigerian contact details to be reached on.
