Akin Abayomi, Lagos commissioner of health, says COVID-19 is
not a death sentence.
The state government discharged five coronavirus patients on
Monday after they tested negative for the disease.
Quoting one of the discharged patients in a series of tweets
on Wednesday, Abayomi described the disease as “a waiting game”.
He said the fight against COVID-19 is not yet over and that
residents still need to play their part to contain the disease.
He asked residents to adhere strictly to directives and
practise social distancing.
“Discharge of 5 #COVID19 patients following their full
recovery shows that #COVID19 infection is not death sentence but “just a
waiting game” according to one of the discharged patient, ” he tweeted.
“@followlasg #Covid19 @LSMOH therefore inform Lagos
residents that notwithstanding the progress so far, it is not yet business as
usual.
“All Lagos residents are expected to strictly adhere to
lockdown order and maintain social distancing rule with diligence
#ForAGreaterLagos.”
