The Lagos State Commissioner for Health, Prof. Akin Abayomi, says that Coronavirus is now being spread in Lagos communities.
Speaking during interview on Channels TV Sunrise Daily, Abayomi noted that the state is doing its utmost in managing the spread of the virus in communities.
“We are in the stage of community spread and we are trying to manage it. We are doing everything possible to ensure that Lagosians are informed, Lagosians are able to take the appropriate amount of risk based on their circumstances and that we are taking the right kind of support for the people,” Abayomi said.
Regarding the issue of some persons flouting the lockdown order and its overall effects on the fight against the pandemic, the commissioner said: “I think every segment of Lagos requires a slightly different strategy. It can’t be on cap fits all.
“Someone in Victoria Island doesn’t have the same priorities as someone in Makoko and there is a whole range in between. I think what Mr Governor is doing is that he is trying to size up all the respective situations.
“He gets a situation analysis every day, he debates with cabinet, data is very critical, we supply data on a daily basis and with that data, it helps you to change your policies and the policies are changing every 24 hours based on what we are finding and based on hot spots,”.
Lagos State has far recorded 657 cases of the novel Coronavirus out of which 116 has recovered and 16 deaths recorded.
