Coronavirus: Lagos Govt Inaugurates Incident Command System.
The Lagos State Government has launched an Incident Command System as part of efforts to prevent an outbreak of the fast-spreading Coronavirus in the state.
While launching the Incident Command System, the governor, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu, said the measure is not to stigmatise citizens of any country but a precautionary one taken in the interest of the people. Beyond that, he also assured the public that Government and Non-Governmental Organisations will continue to escalate communication and create public awareness.
Governor Sanwo-Olu said although the team expects people to be self-quarantined, the state will carry out a supervised quarantine where details about immigrants will be taken at the point of entry while the team will do daily follow-ups through phone calls to identify individuals for a period of two weeks.
“I also want to mention that we have started providing both human and material logistics required for this exercise.
