Meanwhile, the Lagos state government has released a list of local government areas in the state with the highest number of confirmed COVID-19 cases.

The list was released by Lagos state commissioner for health, Prof Akin Abayomi in a tweet on Saturday, May 9.

According to the list released by the commissioner, Lagos mainland has the highest number of infections, Alimosho, Oshodi, Mushin, Ikeja, Kosofe and Isolo LGA also have increased cases.

Abayomi said the state is using the data to plan its strategies to tackle the disease.

In another report, Akin Abayomi has revealed a stunning reality faced by medical practitioners in the state as they attend to coronavirus patients.

Abayomi, responding to questions that border the seemingly unexplainable difference between the occupancy of the isolation centres and the recorded number of cases each day, said that many patients are actually scared of being admitted.

The commissioner added that due to this fear, many persons who test positive to the virus run away from the centres.
