The command also produced pocket sanitisers that they gave those of us in the field with strict warning to ensure we use it especially those who cannot avoid touching their faces.
“Thankfully, most of the cases are serving in the medical centres so it is possible that it was from there they got it. Because of this, the Chief of the Naval Staff Vice Admiral Ibok-Ete Ibas procured 1,800 PPEs and we distributed it to all our medical personnel in Lagos. “It’s very unfortunate. Even while we were waiting for the result, we kept asking what we should do and were told that we should just be checking his temperature, he should isolate and should be given Vitamin C.
Daji said the command was being proactive and not under pressure, adding that it has built isolation and treatment facilities at the Naval Dockyard, Victoria Island, following predictions that cases in Lagos might rise to 120,000 by July.
