Tunde Ajaja, Dayo Ojerinde, Daud Olatunji, Matthew Ochei and Wale Oyewale The Lagos State Commissioner for Health, Prof Akin Abayomi, has said the state is putting in place strategies for the commenc
ement of home-based management of asymptomatic and mild COVID-19 cases.
He said, “We are going to define who can be managed at home and who can be managed in an isolation facility. It is a bit of a simple decision. If you are asymptomatic, you qualify to be managed at home simply because most people in that category will naturally get well without any medical intervention. After all, if you are not feeling any symptoms you may not know you have COVID-19, nothing happens to you and you may clear the virus after seven to 10 days.
In a statement on Friday, Orisajo explained that the victim presented herself at the medical centre on May 29 but that she died same day, while the result of her COVID-19 test came out positive on Friday.Also, at a press briefing in Abeokuta to commemorate the 2020 World Environment Day, tagged, ‘Biodiversity’, Ogun State Environment Commissioner, Abiodun Abudu-Balogun, said upsetting the delicate balance of nature had created ideal conditions for pathogens including coronavirus to spread.
