Lagos To Discharged Patients: Self-isolate For 14 Days

LAGOS State Government has advised discharged COVID—19 patients to go on self-isolation for 14 days.

Commissioner for Health, Dr. Akin Abayomi, gave the advice on Sunday during the briefing on Coronavirus management.

The state government has set up telephone hotlines to enable residents report anyone or persons flouting its guidelines on easing the lockdown in the state from today.

The hotlines are: 0901-051-3197, 0901-051-3198 and 0901051-3199.

Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu,who launched the “whistle blower” hotlines yesterday, also said that civil servants below level 15 will not resume work Tuesday

Sanwo-Olu said, “We are encouraging all Lagosians to be on the lookout for those who flout the orders and directives on easing of the lockdown. They should be reported through the hotlines by direct calls or text messages.

”We will investigate all reports, and ensure that we take appropriate action. Penalties and sanctions will be accordingly meted out to all those found contravening the directives.”

The governor clarified that the controlled easing of the lockdown will last six weeks, in three phases of two weeks each.

”The goal is to enable us achieve a balance between the protection of lives and the sustenance of livelihoods. Following each phase, the Federal and State Governments will review the situation and further adjust the response”, he said.

Sanwo-Olu added that all movements in and out of Lagos remained prohibited, except for people carrying out essential services or transporting essential products such as agro products, petroleum products, relief items, construction materials and registered courier services.

He added that from Tuesday, all civil servants in the state are to remain at home.

His words. “From Tuesday, May 5, only critical staff on Grade Levels 15 and above, and who have also been specifically adjudged as critical staff by their accounting officers will be expected to go to work.

”In the same vein, all staff of the Local Government and Local Council Development Area Offices in the state are expected to remain at home at this time, unless directed by their LGA or LCDA Chairmen.

”All open markets and stores will be allowed to operate on alternate days between the hours of 9am and 3pm. Markets and stores selling food items will open on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, while Markets and stores selling all other Items, excluding food, will open on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

“Private sector companies and businesses will be permitted to operate within a limited framework. What this means is that any offices and businesses that chooses to open are allowed to open only between 9am and 3pm daily; and must limit the number of staff on the business premises to no more than 60 percent of full capacity, at any point in time.

”Commercial / Commuter operations within Lagos State shall be between the hours of 6am and 7pm daily. This applies only to motor vehicles. All commercial motorcycle operations in Lagos State are hereby suspended until further notice. Tricycles operating in unrestricted areas must not carry more than two passengers per trip.

”Frontline workers across all levels are, however expected to continue working.”

Giving update on the health situation, Sanwo-Olu said, “As at May 2, 2020, we had 1,084 confirmed cases, while 247 have been treated and discharged. In terms of active cases, we have 791 cases; and very sadly, we have now lost 28 persons to the pandemic”.

God bless babajide!!

Lagos people I envy una governor!!

My State governor is still waiting for 15 billion from the FG

Ganduje come and see your mates!!

They're doing everything possible within their powers to save people from dying!!

Ganduje is playing stupid politics with our lives here in kano!

Elrufai remains the smartest governor in northern Nigeria!

Ganduje remain the worse governor kano in the history of Kano state!

Wahala

This is like looking for water in an ocean. They are breaking the rules left and right, even d securities

I hope the Governor has enough personnel to man the call centre because I can assure you they will be overwhelmed with complaints.

We are simply a bunch of indisciplined people. Orderliness is not our way. I just pray the cases don’t skyrocket in the next couple of weeks.

For me, I remain indoor except it is absolutely necessary.

Meanwhile...

Sanwo Olu our government from ourpipul

Snitches get stitches.

Kolewerk In Koker's voice.

For how much. I mean how much per head because I go blow whistle tired.

This wont work. With the penalty for violators at a max of N100k I doubt anyone would be in a hurry to report anyone

...

Ogün state government sef

Tell us amount for each blow before blowing because I want to blow hot.

The number wil not be effective though.

After blowing d whistle they will end up arresting u

It in Nigeria you see another version to things. Whistle-blower without monetary compensation.

Just like lockdown without palliative.

Even the devices where the hotlines are in will blow out real soon...cos complaints go yakpa

Better

IF YOU THINK LALASTICLALA WILL BE A WHISTLE BLOWER PLS RAISE YOU HAND.

Cool

I don't think this approach is viable and can be properly enforced in a place like Lagos, for everyone reported how do they want to keep track and penalize them..
2 things are almost certain .it's either people don't report because they themselves might be contravening the law one way or the other
Or
People report and the hotlines become overwhelmed to handle the number of reports flooding in
