COVID-19: Lagos govt. activates oxygen plant, urges residents to follow safety guidelines

The Babajide Sanwo-Olu led Lagos state government has activated the oxygen plant at the Infectious Diseases Hospital (IDH), Yaba.

Governor Sanwo-Olu , who disclosed this on Sunday via his verified Twitter handle also urged the residents of the state to follow the safety guidelines to safeguard their friends and loved ones.

“In the midst of increasing #COVID19 cases, we have some good news from our Infectious Diseases Hospital.

“We have activated a new oxygen plant which will help by providing much needed oxygen to patients. The plant will supplement oxygen supply to about 300 cylinders per day and 6 cylinders per hour”, the governor tweeted.

He  also reiterated that his administration is working to ensure all COVID-19 patients in the commercial centre get the best care.

As the number of cases continue to rise in Lagos State and Nigeria, Governor Sanwo-Olu, however, warned people against thinking that the virus is a hoax.

“Lagosians, #COVID19 is not a glamorous disease, neither is it a hoax,” the governor said about the disease which was first reported in Nigeria in February.

“You need to follow the safety guidelines to safeguard your friends and loved ones”, he urged.
