Covid-19: Lagos focuses on Alimosho as Lagos Mainland record 114 cases, Eti-Osa 86, Ikeja 41
The Lagos State Commissioner for Health, Prof. Akin Abayomi, said the state was still monitoring Alimosho Local Government Area as regards the management of COVID-19.
Abayomi said an active case search had focused on the Alimosho area and he was expecting the analysis of the data generated from the exercise.
“We are concerned about some increasing activities in that densely populated local government area. Our data show that indeed there is a very slow but gradual increase of COVID-19 cases in the area, but it is nowhere near what we see in Mainland, Eti Osa or Ikeja, but we have put in place increased surveillance.”
Also on Sunday, the state government stated there were 309 confirmed cases of COVID 19 in the state as of 5pm on Sunday.
It said 196 of the cases were still active, while 94 had been discharged, adding that there were 14 deaths.
The Lagos Mainland Local Government leads with 114 confirmed cases, followed by Eti-Osa with 86 cases, while Ikeja is third with 41 cases.
Alimosho has 15 cases, Kosofe, 12; Shomolu, eight; Oshodi/Isolo and Mushin have seven cases each.
Others are Surulere, six; Amuwo-Odofin, five; Ikorodu, four; Ibeju Lekki, one and Agege one; Lagos Island, Ifako-Ijaiye, Badagry and Apapa Local Government Areas with two confirmed cases each.
Three local government areas – Ajeromi/Ifelodun, Epe and Ojo – have not recorded any case.
