Babajide Sanwo-Olu who is the current Lagos State governor has blamed the spread of COVID-19 on the delayed closure of the country’s borders, seaport, and airports, including the failure of returnees to self-isolate. Lagos was prepared to curb the
spread of COVID-19, according to the governor, but had to wait for the Federal Government to shut down the airport, seaport, and land borders. It was gathered that as of March 29 when president shut the country’s airports, seaports, and borders, Nigeria had recorded 111 confirmed cases of COVID-19 and one death.
We have no influence on this. We just wrapped up our own facilities and the training staff, and that's why we have now been able to monitor the index case for two months. Three or three-four states in the country have had one event or the other. It's a double X thing, for us. The population is massive, and we're going to be foolish to think it's going to be a spike and we're going to be out.
He said on April 29, 2020, 87 new # COVID-19 cases have been confirmed at Lagos and the total number of confirmed cases now is 947 but the good news is that after their full recovery 49 additional # COVID-19 survivors have been discharged making the total number of patients discharged in Lagos to 187.
