The Lagos State government has revealed why the state has
recorded more COVID-19 cases than Kano State.
Akin Abayomi, the State Commissioner for Health, disclosed
that Lagos State has “increased testing capacity, whereas Kano has only one
testing centre” which became functional recently.
The Commissioner, who spoke at a press conference yesterday
said that though the State was yet to reach its peak in COVID-19 cases, the
number of cases recorded followed the trend defined in its module.
According to Abayomi, “More cases are diagnosed when
increased testing is carried out.”
Speaking on the decentralization of sample collection
centres across the state, Abayomi said, “people no longer need to wait for the
state’s epidemiology team to come to their houses for sample collection or go
to isolation centres for COVID-19 tests.”
