Lagos Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has urged residents of the state to adjust their lifestyles amid COVID-19 second wave.
Sanwo-Olu gave this advice in a statement he released on Saturday where he said a fresh lockdown would be a disservice to the economy of the state.
He said the way to go to hamstrung COVID-19 spread was to adhere to non-pharmaceutical measures in place including regular hand-washing, face mask use and social distancing.
The statement reads in part: “Yesterday, we issued guidelines to help us in the next phase of our battle with the virus. Lagosians have relaxed and the effects are evident with increasing cases and unfortunate deaths.
“These guidelines will affect us all but we need to be strong and we need to persevere.
“We cannot afford another total lockdown so I enjoin us to keep observing the prescribed protocols and the required lifestyle adjustments that will help us enter 2021 stronger, healthier, and safer.”
Recall that Sanwo-Olu is in self-isolation after contracting COVID-19.
