The Lagos State Commissioner for Health, Prof. Akin Abayomi, said a total of 119 people with COVID-19 symptoms have been identified in the state.

Abayomi at a briefing on Tuesday said a total of 118,000 households have been reached in the active case search for possible COVID-19 cases in communities.

He said community search was activated to limit the spread of the disease in Lagos, which has the highest number of COVID-19 patients in Nigeria. “We’ve embarked on an active case search in communities. The idea is to go to hotspots and go from door-to-door with our health personnel. “So far, in the last two days, we’ve visited 118,000 households and we’re looking for the typical symptoms of COVID-19. We’ve identified about 119 people who have symptoms that are suggestive of COVID-19.

“But let me remind you that COVID is one of the viruses that can cause respiratory symptoms. There are many viruses. So, the idea is to take samples from these 119 and analyse them – that would give us an idea of how much COVID-19 activity is happening in the communities,” Abayomi said.

But not yet tested.

Some people have been having very easy access into and out of Lagos. Especially to neighboring Ogun State. Some on motorcycle operated by riders in military uniform.

Is LERSA, LekkiLersa engaged on this? How do estates identify the real agents of LASG? jidesanwoolu ProfAkinAbayomi Chikwe_I drobafemihamzat PoliceNG

We have been shouting test ...test! Stop and test rapidly! Test anyone and everyone in sight! Get 15min test kits.. PCR testing is already outdated in this fight. Test and test ...and test more! Isolate quickly. I pray we aren't too late!

Rising, rising, rising.. The days ahead... May God help us

Mogbe 😢...Lord have mercy

I think dis corona tin Dey sweet shizu&co and they r using it as opportunity to embezzle some money and I don’t think dis will be the last lockdown. God help the poor 🙏

What do you expect when the EU donated €50 to Nigeria wait until tomorrow morning you'll hear scores of cases.

So someone cannot cough in peace again? Abi sneeze? This lockdown must end after this 2 weeks.

Let's call a spade a spade for once Ourmumudonreach nosivad

Oga what type of lie is this?

Lies..... Trying to justify the lock down.

Oh my Lord, help us .

How won’t this happen, we still go to market to purchase food stuff, some even still travel inter state, people board buses together. This lock down is just suffering for the poor mass because it’s not helping matters at all.

Scam noni

Get a free online course now 🇳🇬

119 ke. Please I don't understand.

Symptoms can be similar among diseases of all kinds. If I took the symptoms only when my son had learning difficulties I would have done him the greatest disservice a parent could. And they want to prevent people from earning a livelihood on symptoms. Is starvation better?

Malaria symptoms

All of a sudden even after the lockdown 👀 or is it because of the €50 million we have more people🤣🤣

Hope nobi fever and malaria symptoms

Because of €50mil

This thing won't end..the government keep taking away the rights of the citizens and magically invent figures over a disease that is a hoax

Wetin? Thank God na symptoms.

Lol 🧸

These guys should stop this BS! Why do they have to politicize everything. We can see through their plans. You identify the virus to be discharged the next day. The more the victims the more the funds from FG.

Lagosians simply won't stay indoors

You mean Starvation symptoms😩

New format Another 2 weeks loading we may spend the rest of the year on lockdown

People are faking symptoms bcs that’s the only way they will be able to get the full attention of the lagos state govt! Pls wait for this weekend, you guys will have a whole lot of people with symptoms of covid19 hunger

Olurops Issokay lasgidi center of excellence

118,000 households in 2 days? 🙄😏😒

New format Another 2 weeks load we make spend the rest of the year on lockdown

This one loud ooo🥺

Don't be kidding with aceralating number of victims for foriend funds gains

We are still identifying, when are we going to bring out measure for survival to the people on lock down?.... They will keep discovering new cases until the whole of Lagos State is confirmed positive.

Is stay at home in effect?

Please o I have symptoms too. I'm already isolating in my room, so bring the COVID money.

Its one thing to be wicked and another to be the personification of wickedness. This so call rulers have sold their conscience. All this is for the donations from the international community. We know euros 50m don enter .expect the numbers to keep shooting up.

Don't worry extend the lockdown to 2 months , make you no give people food to eat oo,don't forget , Coronavirus don't distinguished rice from the poor ..

davidnnachi80 Fake news everywhere

Oh dear 😪

Haaa

I repeat let those Chinese doctors go back to their country, since they arrived they numbers are fast increasing

Lagos just deh load the numbers like say na vote 😂😂

NaijaFlyingDr Oh Lord, 119 is a huge number

They are the only one spiritual eye seeing and detecting them, because those infected people and invisible

Why creating panic in the city of Lagos when the 119 people are yet to be tested n confirmed as covid19 carrier Na wa ooo Na govt dey even create panic pass

Plz it's enough, am already tired staying at home. Stop freaking me

Maybe we should kuku do give away for the covid419 at least for everywhere go marama

Ah 😮

118,000 households in 2 days? What a fantastic job.

Fantastic

The more the donation,more cases increase

😳😳😳😳

You people are confusing us is this only for today or all the cases that has been there before made it 119 even, discharged ones? Na wa ooo wen will this end

Nah so🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I reject this plan force people to take vaccine in the name of being immuned from COVID19. IT WON'T SEE THE LIGHT OF DAY. GIVE THOSE PEOPLE CATARRH,COUGH AND MALARIA MEDICATION AND SEE IF THE WON'T RECOVER. WE CAN'T BE DECEIVED ANYMORE. END THIS MADNESS AND PANIC

That must be people having symptoms of Hungavirus and the number will soon escalate if government doesn't do anything to help them curb the hunger.

It is well o😥

👂🏽

It is like social distancing is on vacation here

Common cold and cough coupled with malaria

Compare and contrast 😂

Are you sure they are not having malaria ?

I hope 'Lie Mohammed' is not the one giving us this information?

Not the right message. May not even be the virus

Again?

Me practicing social distancing

It's malaria jor

Why is followlasg jidesanwoolu not following Oyo state model of walk-through testing machine?!

The CORONA in our country is different from other countries, Corona over there is COVID-19, Here in NIGERIA our own Is COVID-419...

There is no covid-19 in Nigeria you guys should stop all this fake stories. government wants to kill us with hunger here.

Oh my God. This is NOT Gooood at all.

Spear is that crap....no covid-19 in Niger

Brace yourself everyone 😳😳

Should be properly tested and quarantined

Ehhhhhhhh E don happen

Before you know it, Lagos may more than the fun donated to the FG 🙄

They can do house to house search. But can't do house house distribution of palliatives... Yeye people...

EU is predicting 39,000 death in Nigeria. God will not allow this to happen. The plans of the wicked will not come to pass, in Jesus Name. Amen.

🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

Why lockdown when we keep having increasing number of corona virus. I think it ought to reduce but the numbers keep increasing by the day. What's the point of keeping us indoor. We should be having less number of cases by now since the enforcement of lockdown... what's the point

€50 million don enter... 🤐

Eko bi careful o, upon the Lockdown .

Insha Allah it will be malaria.....

no need to spread panic biko, NCDCgov will continue to give appropriate reports daily, which is what I follow.

It's NOT 119 Covid19. Symptoms can be caused by malaria and ordinary cough and catarrh. They're yet to test these people to confirm. ScreamingHeadlines

Then carry out test.

Good step let's see the result.

Show us video as proof and stop deceiving us. We know COVID-19 is real. Do a video coverage to show Lagosians. Everyday discharge, everyday discover. Which one una dey sef? jidesanwoolu

God why?

Purely lie

So it has turned to analysing ☹️☹️☹️

It is well

Hmmm, getting serious here
