Isolo is one of the LCDAs in Oshodi-Isolo Lacal Government Area in Lagos State.
Although she did not give the breakdown on the cases in each ward within the council area, Dr. Nojimudeen-Yesufu confirmed that the cases were higher in Okota than any other ward.According to her, people’s compliance with the various measures given by the government to prevent community spread of the virus was too low in the council area.
Nojimudeen-Yesufu who felt disappointed, said the figure is worrisome because many residents are not carrying out safety precautions recommended by the authorities at local, state and federal levels.Speaking on the local contact tracing of confirmed cases and the home based care, the healthcare giver noted that both have become important at the local level to solidify efforts to curb the pandemic now that the isolation centres are overcrowded.
