Lagos reaches COVID-19 peak, decries shortage of health personnel

”

The Lagos State Commissioner of Health, Prof Akin Abayomi, stated these during an interview on Plus TV Africa, which was monitored by our correspondent. The commissioner said, “If you look at the demographic profile of an outbreak, your peak is when the virus has probably infected a large number of people in your community and the virus is running out of numbers to infect.

“We are not really expecting a spike in Lagos as regards reopening of some economic segments, as we believe we have gotten to the peak or almost at the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic. Nonetheless, as we relax, we might see a bit of transmission. We are constantly refuting misinformation and educating the public about what we believe.
