Lagos State Governor, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu, Amid COVID-19 third wave, has disclosed that due to consequences of the virus an average of six deaths was recorded daily in last week making a total of 42 casualties in Lagos.

Sanwo-Olu made it known on Monday while briefing State House correspondents at Lagos House, Alausa, Ikeja, on the situation report and update on the management of the COVID-19 pandemic in the state.

However, the governor said the AstraZeneca and Moderna vaccines against the virus can not be mixed as it has been confirmed dangerous to human health.

In his words;

“This has resulted in 4,300 confirmed cases in July alone and 352 admissions into our isolation facilities. But let me make it clear that this necessary sense of alarm should not be responded to with panic, but instead with a firm resolve and determination to reverse the trend.

We have done it before and we can do it again. We dealt with the first and second waves and did our best to prevent a third wave. Now that it is fully upon us, we must dig deep into what we have learnt from the previous waves, as well as summon the will to do everything necessary to bring down the numbers, on the way to eventually defeating the virus once and for all,” he added.
