Worried about the rising cases of COVID-19 infections in the state, the Lagos State Commissioner for Health, Prof. Akin Abayomi has urged Lagosians to make lifestyle adjustments by adhering to all non-pharmaceutical interventions in order to cope with the pandemic.
Abayomi while briefing journalists on Monday on Government’s response against the COVID-19 second wave, Abayomi explained that citizens should adopt all COVID19 safety protocols including proper and regular use of face masks, social distancing guidelines, and avoiding mass gatherings.
He said people should begin to practice regular hand and respiratory hygiene, submit themselves for tests if symptomatic, self-isolate if positive, and present early to an isolation centre for treatment.
