Commisdioner for Health in Lagis State, Pro. Akin Abayomi, has said that the state may get up to 39, 000 cases.
Briefing the media in Lagis on Friday, he said:
“Our mathematical modelling shows that the worst-case scenario is that we may see up to 39,000 cases in Lagos.”
But he hopes thst if everyone practices good social distancing, the figure will be limited to 13,000.
“If we add social distancing to active contact tracing, then we will be able to bend the curve further.
“The figures may seem alarming at this point, but this is just to emphasise to the Lagos community to follow instructions of the incident commander to make sure that we practise social distancing.
“Looking at the same timeframe from the introduction of the index case, you can see that Lagos State is not seen anywhere near what Spain, Italy and Iran are showing.
“So, at weeks two and three of our index case, we are flat and at week four, we have 37 cases; while at the same fourth week, Italy, Iran and Spain had more than 20,000.”
