Lagos governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, said the state is about to record cases of coronavirus infection of biblical proportion.
Sanwo-Olu made the prediction during an Instalive interview with CNN on Wednesday.
“We are pretty much getting to the peak season. We will soon see a large number because testing is now wrapped up. It is a public health issue and we needed to take our protocols from NCDC and other international organisations,” the governor said.
He however, accused the federal government of tardiness in shutting the borders and preventing the spread of the scourge saying: “Given the population that we have, we are a bit ahead in terms of preparation, as a state, but we are sub-national. We couldn’t give directives as to when Nigeria should close the airport, seaport, or in-land border.
“We don’t have control over that. We were just wrapping up our own facilities and the training officials, and that was why we were able to track the index case over two months now.”
