By our reporter| Lagos state governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, on Monday said some private buildings in the state have been converted to isolation centres.
The governor who made the disclosure at a media briefing, said some of the buildings are unknown to the public.
According to him, the government has decided not to disclose the private properties so that they will not be stigmatised after the pandemic.
He said, “There have been several conversations. People wrote that Lagos is out of bed spaces, but the very next day we opened another isolation centre. We are opening another isolation centre for the health workers.”
“We have other isolation centres that are not known to the media because they are private properties. They are private hotels.
“We do not want a situation where post-COVID, it becomes a stigmatised place. people are going there and they are getting well.”
Lagos, the epicentre of the outbreak in Nigeria with 1,107 confirmed cases is for struggling for bed spaces for the treatment of COVID-19 patients.
