“We are achieving success in delaying the spread of infection and expanding the time needed to impose social distancing and other measures. This is an indication that we are gradually winning the battle against the spread of the disease,” he observed.

While applauding residents for complying with the restriction order, he lamented that some Lagosians still flout the stay-at-home instruction as they are seen engaging in activities which contravene the principle of social distancing and other relevant measures put in place by government to check the spread of the virus.

He advised them to adhere strictly to the order which he said has greatly helped in contact tracing of suspected cases and enabled health workers to respond swiftly in locating infected people within the state.

While assuring residents that Government will continue the aggressive fight against the coronavirus, he revealed that the State has adequate stock of Personal Protection Equipment to manage the cases adding that the Infectious Disease Hospital has 60% of its isolation bed-space still available.
