Sanwo-Olu goes into isolation as close aide contracts COVID-19

Lagos State Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has gone in self-isolation on Friday after one of his close aides tested positive for COVID-19.

The commissioner for health, Akin Abayomi, made the announcement on Friday, as he reveals that other members of the governor’s team will undergo COVID-19 test.

In the statement signed by the commissioner, it reads;

Lagos State Governor, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu will go into self-isolation immediately, after one of his close aides tested positive for COVID-19 yesterday (10th of December).

“They will be tested by the Lagos State biobank today but will remain in isolation until the results of the tests are available,” he said.

“We are seeing slightly increasing number of COVID-19 positive cases in clusters in Lagos and all Lagosians should adhere to the prescribed advisories of safe distancing, good hand and respiratory hygiene and avoidance of unnecessary gatherings.”

“This is not the first time Mr Governor is having the COVID-19 test. He has had at least three since May when he announced that 10 of his aides had tested positive for the virus”. He added.
