As at press time, there are 670 Coronavirus cases in Lagos, 117 recoveries and 19 deaths.
Meanwhile, a new case of Coronavirus has been confirmed in Ondo State, bringing the total number of infections in the state to 4.
Governor Rotimi Akeredolu, who made the confirmation in a series of tweets on Saturday, said the new case was a police officer.
He explained that the policeman was tested in Lagos but while awaiting his result travelled down to Ondo State.
The Governor said;
Earlier today, I got news of another positive case of #COVID-19 admitted to our facility in Akure. The case of this individual who is a police officer is unique.
He stressed that;
According to him, he waited a few days in Lagos to be picked up. When this failed, he panicked and rushed back to Akure for treatment.
While we appreciate the confidence reposed in our facilities, we do find it most reckless on the part of the officer of the law to risk the lives of others.
