The Lagos State Commissioner of Health, Akin Abayomi, said on Tuesday that none of the active cases of coronavirus infection in the state needs a ventilator

The Commissioner, during an update on COVID-19 in the state, said the patients being managed at the Bio-security facility and Infectious Disease Centre Yaba have mild to moderate symptoms.

Osagie Ehanire, the Minister of Health, had earlier said that Nigeria may not need ventilators for the treatment of coronavirus, and as such, shortage of ventilators in the country should not be of concern to Nigerians. Speaking on the availability of testing equipment in Lagos, the Commissioner said Lagos has excess testing capacity and does not require additional equipment at the moment.

Mr Abayomi added that the state has recorded only eight new cases over the last two days and this is a slow increase rate compared to what is obtainable in other climes.He said eight patients have been discharged having fully recovered and about 66 patients are presently on admission at the Infectious Disease Centre, Yaba.
