Lagos State Commissioner for Health, Professor Akin Abayomi has tested positive for the coronavirus disease.
This was recently confirmed in a press statement signed by the state’s Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Gbenga Omotoso.

His words, “Professor Abayomi became aware of his status following the required testing protocol of contact tracing procedures.”

“Adhering to the protocol of the home-based strategy in Lagos State, the Honorable Commissioner will be isolating in his home for the next 14 days but will continue to discharge his duties both as the Deputy Incident Commander of the Incident Command System for COVID-19 and most especially, as the Honorable Commissioner for Health.”
