Governor of Lagos State, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu has again advised residents of his state to strictly adhere to the coronavirus protocols as the third wave of the pandemic is in the country already.

Sanwo-Olu added that the state has reopened its pandemic centres as newly infected patients are being admitted on a daily basis.

He made the disclosure while at the presentation of the party flag to all the chairmanship candidates on the platform of All Progressives Congress (APC) in the forthcoming local government election taking place on July 24.

The Lagos governor further assured the state that the government will continue to manage the situation the best way it knows how to.

“We are monitoring the positivity rate; we are also doing two things, and even as we don’t want to unnecessarily scare people, at the same time, we will ensure that we are very proactive.

“On a daily basis, we are checking the rate of positivity of the virus, and we are managing it.

“But everybody is expected to act responsibly, to protect themselves and their families. And that is why as a responsible government; we are telling our people the truth as well as being transparent. We are communicating efficiently to our citizens, urging them not to gather where it is not necessary.

“Where you cannot avoid unnecessary non-COVID-19 compliance, don’t go there. If you want to go out, please use your face mask, and adhere strictly to protocol. We are doing everything to ensure that we flatten the curve.

“We have opened isolation centres in the state, and the federal government has assured us that by the end of August, we would get another batch of the vaccine, and we will roll the vaccination exercise again,” he said.
