LAGOS CONFIRMS COVID-19 INFECTION IN A BOARDING SECONDARY SCHOOLhttps://twitter.com/LSMOH/status/1324800754117468165?s=19 LAGOS STATE GOVERNMENT MINISTRY OF HEALTH PRESS STATEMENT LAGOS CONFIRMS COVID-19 INFECTION IN SECONDARY SCHOOL ...As Govt. Reemphasizes Need to Obey Prevention Protocols Lagos State Government has confirmed positive COVID-19 cases in a secondary boarding school on the mainland. A member of the school's staff was confirmed positive for COVID-19 on the 2' of November. Contact tracing has revealed that a student and four contacts of the staff member are positive for COVID-19. The staff member fell ill for a few days and received first aid at the school clinic. She subsequently tested positive for COVID-19 on Monday 2nd of November at the Lagos State Biobank. The Lagos State COVID-19 Incident Command System through the Emergency Operation Center is investigating the incident, and we would like to assure members of the public and stakeholders of the school that the situation is completely under control. Steps are being taken to contain the spread within the school and reduce exposure to the outside community. All parents are being contacted first through the PTA and a family zoom call is being arranged to further allay their fears. It is important to note that COVID-19 presents with very mild symptoms in children and teenagers, compared to other age groups. However, there is the risk of infected children transmitting the disease to adults who they interact with daily, and who may be at higher risk of severe disease and death. The school authorities, supported by Lagos State Ministry of Health (LSMOH), Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) and the Ministry of Education, are following the COVID-19 guidelines as set out by the government. Students who test positive are to be isolated in the school premises and, if unwell, will be admitted in one of the accredited isolation centers in Lagos. Students are discouraged from going home to avoid infecting members of their families. The Ministry of Health and NCDC are working closely with the Ministry of Education through a joint approach to manage the outbreak in this school. Most of the infected persons are predominantly asymptomatic while some have mild symptoms. Members of the Emergency Operation Center Lagos, NCDC and our counterparts in the Ministry of Education have been deployed in the school to provide strategic interventions and support. These include psychosocial support, infection prevention control, medical monitoring and risk communication experts to further enlighten affected people. COVID-19 is still very much with us and we must strive to prioritize the safety of all, including students and teachers, by adhering strictly to prevention protocols and guidelines issued by the government to prevent its spread. Lagosians should observe and practise highest standards of personal and environmental hygiene. Using face masks in public places, hand washing and hands hygiene practice, and maintaining physical distancing will help prevent the spread of the infection. Citizens should call the 08000EKOMED or 08000356633 toll free line, if they notice any sign or symptoms of COVID19, which include fever, cough, sore throat, fatigue or loss of taste or smell.

To start with everyday lagosians on the streets going about their various buisnesses don't have any iota of regard for the Covid rules They'll enter buses and be sitting so close to each other with body sweat contacting each other Conductor won't even wear face mask and he will be shouting at the top of his voice beckoning on passengers to enter his bus and then when he's asking his passengers to pay,, he's spitting into your ear or on your head.so it's inevitable that out of the 20 something people in the bus 1 individual Can spread it because of Social carelessness and willful disobedience to the Covid19 Instructions 37 Likes 4 Shares |

I can authoritatively tell you that most public schools in Lagos are not observing the COVID-19 guidelines. Everything is just window dressing and media hype. My contacts who are teachers in public secondary schools are complaining that they are tired of the situation. Even the students are not complying, and the schools are overcrowded! 1 Like |
