The Lagos State government has classified as illegal the management of COVID-19 patients by private facilities in the state without permission from the state.
The State Commissioner for Health, Professor Akin Abayomi disclosed this at a press briefing on COVID-19 held on Friday at the Bagauda Kaltho Press Centre, Alausa, Ikeja, Lagos.
Abayomi stressed that every COVID-19 patient in the state must be known to the government person for adequate data capturing.
He warned that “Every person with COVID-19 in Lagos state must be known to the government. If you are managing COVID-19 without government permission and we are not capturing you in our database, you are performing an illegal act according to the laws of Lagos State. (Tribune)
