The Lagos state
government says it will fumigate the entire state to prevent the spread of
coronavirus.
Babajide Sanwo-Olu,
governor of Lagos, disclosed this on Thursday.
Sanwo-Olu said the
fumigation equipment will be deployed in every part of the city and asked
residents to do their part to remain safe and healthy.
“To ensure we keep
our environment safe and curtail the contagion of #COVID19, we are deploying
disinfectant equipment to fumigate the entire state,” Sanwo-Olu tweeted.
“These fumigation
machines will be deployed to every part of the metropolis for sterilization of
our public spaces & surfaces.
“We are very
aggressive in our efforts to combat the novel Coronavirus in the State. We all
have to #TakeResponsibility and do our part in ensuring we remain safe and
healthy.”

To check the spread
of the virus, the government had ordered the closure of markets, apart from
those where food and medical items are sold.
Parks and other
public spaces were also directed to shut down.
The governor also
advised residents of Lagos to avoid travelling to and from the state during
this period.
He added that law
enforcement agencies and other relevant state protection agencies “have been
imbued with the power to deal with recalcitrant offenders”.
The number of
coronavirus cases in Nigeria is now 51 — with one death recorded so far.

across eight states and the federal capital territory (FCT). Lagos has the
highest number with 32, FCT follows with 10 and Ogun, three.
