Lagos State Governor Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has gone into self-isolation after one of his close aides tested positive for COVID-19 on Thursday.
Sanwo-Olu and other members of his team were subsequently tested by the Lagos State biobank on Friday but will remain in isolation until the results of the tests are available.
This was disclosed today by the State commissioner for health, Prof. Akin Abayomi.
“We are seeing slightly increasing number of COVID-19 positive cases in clusters in Lagos and all Lagosians should adhere to the prescribed advisories of safe distancing, good hand and respiratory hygiene and avoidance of unnecessary gatherings,” the commissioner advised.
This is not the first time Sanwo-Olu is having the COVID-19 test. He has had at least three since May when he announced that 10 of his aides had tested positive for the virus.
