The commissioner added that the total number of COVID-19 tests conducted in the state since inception of the pandemic stood at 607,803.

Earlier, Abayomi, said that the state was currently under a severe stress and strain of COVID-19 third wave, with emergence of between 100 and 300 new cases daily. He said that isolation facilities were filled up and overstretched, necessitating creation of more spaces to accommodate patients. “I hereby appeal to everyone, either in Lagos or neighbouring states, that COVID-19 is not yet over. We have quite a long way to go and we do not know how many more waves of infections are still ahead.

“It is therefore important to continue to adhere to non-pharmaceutical interventions and build indigenous capacity to be less vulnerable, but be more resilient to deal with shocks,” he said.Abayomi stressed that COVID-19 safety protocols should be strictly adhered to as practice of handshaking still poses high risk for transmission of the virus.
