In a statement, he added that Sanwo-Olu is receiving treatment
and is being closely monitored at home by a clinical team from the

The Commissioner noted that the state is seeing a slightly
increasing number of new COVID-19 cases and warned all residents
and victors to adhere to the prescribed health guidelines such as
social distancing and mask-wearing.
“The festive season is likely to create the opportunity for the
virus to spread if we are not compliant with the regulations
established by the Presidential Task Force (PTF) for inbound
travellers and the festive season celebrations,” Abayomi said.

“All inbound travellers must be COVID-19 negative by PCR before
they board a flight to Nigeria and must self-isolate on arrival and
undergo a pre-booked test on Day Seven of arrival in Nigeria.
“Lagosians should keep celebrations to a minimum and be
observant and responsible in their interactions. The significant
gains achieved to date in containing COVID-19 in Lagos, which has
allowed us to carefully reopen the economy, must not be
reversed.
“No one is immune to this virus and it is certainly still
circulating in the community.
“Please join me in praying and wishing the Incident Commander of
the Lagos State COVID-19 response, Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu, a speedy
recovery so he can return to normal duties as soon as possible.
“I will be keeping the public informed regularly of Mr.
Governor’s recovery and wellbeing.”
