COVID 19: Lagos Is Not On Lockdown by Lagosfinder(op): 12:05pm On Mar 26, 2020
The attention of the Lagos State Government has been drawn to news reports that Lagos is on lockdown following Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s update on the steps taken to curtail the spread of Coronavirus.

The impression created by such reports is erroneous; Lagos is not on lockdown despite the stringent measures introduced by the government.

Mr. Governor, who is the Incident Commander, only urged private sector establishments to introduce measures that will support the government’s efforts at curtailing the spread of COVID-19.

Governor Sanwo-Olu suggested that banks should enhance their online banking services to enable their customers have transactions without visiting banking halls.

All markets that are not selling food, pharmaceutical products, water, medical equipment and other essential materials are to close down.

Workers providing essential services - Fire Service, Emergency, health, water, telecommunication, security, media and others - are exempted from this directive.

The initiatives being introduced by the government are to prevent any situation where more than 25 persons will gather in the same place at any time.

The Sanwo-Olu Administration is concerned about the rising number of COVID-19 cases, hence it is adopting measures to keep residents safe.

The government will continue to appraise the situation, consult various stakeholders and make further announcements to check the spread of this lethal disease.

Residents should observe simple hygiene measures, such as washing hands with soap and water, covering mouth while sneezing or coughing and consulting a doctor when feeling ill. Anyone feeling unwell should stay indoors.

We should remain observant, prayerful and report all suspected cases of COVID-19 through the emergency hotlines – 08000CORONA, 08023169485, 08033535529, 08052817243.

As at Feb. 23rd, exactly a month and 3 days ago, Italy had 5 cases of virus confirmed, zero death.
Italian Govt gave a stay at home order, people disobeyed.
30days later, Italy has over 60,000 cases & 5,400 deaths.
There’s price to pay for every disobedience.
Nigerians should learn from this and obey simple rule

[color=royalblue]It pains me so much that the FG's negligence is what Sanwo olu is suffering.

I like the Lagos approach to this pandemic. Sanwo olu has been giving press statements almost every day.

We shall overcome this soon[/color]

Do you understand the use of punctuation comma marks used in the screenshot?

Do you know the meaning of "total"?

",and a total of 79 confirmed cases in Italy."
79 cases in the whole of Italy is not greater than 5 that you claim for the same 23 February 2020?
