Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu on Friday said Lagos may slip into a second wave of Coronavirus pandemic.
The governor said this is possible if residents failed to comply with the precautionary measures against the spread of virus.
The governor noted that of every 100 tests that the state has performed, an average of 10 turn out to be positive, stressing it is an increase from the five per hundred recorded in September, though lower than the peak in August, which was between 20 and 30 per hundred.
“This suggests the existence of active community transmission, and represents the very likely possibility of the emergence of a second wave in Lagos State.
“This second wave calls for a full re-awakening of caution and precaution. The complacency that crept in over the last few months as a result of our early intervention when cases started to decline from our peak in August, must now give way to an abundance of vigilance.”
Consequently, Sanwo-Olu asked all public servants from GL 14 and below, except emergency workers and first responders, to work from home as from Monday, December 21st for the next 14 days – in the first instance.
