COVID-19 Isolation Centres: Patient with mild cases will now be treated at home

Lagos State Government has said mild cases of coronavirus will now be treated at home, adding that only critical cases will go to isolation centres.

The state Commissioner for Health, Professor Akin Abayomi, stated this on Wednesday during a discussion on Instagram on the effects of COVID-19 on the health care system.

This followed the shortage of bed spaces at its Isolation Centres.

Insideojodu reports that the State has recorded over 2,700 cases of COVID-19, with 649 recoveries.

“We have exceeded the containment phase now. We are at the active community transmission stage. We will be concentrating on people with severe cases and isolating them, while mild cases will be managed at home. Our attention is shifting to community-based isolation,” the commissioner tweeted.
