Meanwhile, Lagos State Government has commenced house-to-house case identification to detect possible cases of COVID-19 in the State.
This was contained in a statement from the Lagos Ministry of Health on Thursday.
The statement quoted that the Commissioner for Health, Prof. Akin Abayomi, as saying this during a joint ministerial press briefing on COVID19 intervention in Lagos State held on Thursday in Alausa, Ikeja.
Recall that Chikwe Ihekweazu, the director-general of the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC), has disclosed that 90% of COVID-19 patients recover without any intervention.
He said: “We should remember that 90 per cent of these patients recover without any intervention. So, if you take something and say you recovered and that something is why you recovered, it doesn’t quite add up.”
The NCDC boss further explained that very few viruses have a cure. He said COVID-19 patients are given oxygen at the hospital which is not a treatment but administered to keep the patients alive for long enough to recover yourself.
