Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has warned against sporting activities and religious gathering in Lagos State during the period of lockdown.
The lockdown was declared by President Muhammadu Buhari to combat the spread of coronavirus in the country.
However, since the commencement, reports have gotten to the ears of the governor of Lagos State that social gatherings have been going on despite the order against such.
Taking to Twitter, Sanwo-Olu wrote:
“While we celebrate the small mercies, reports of youths gathering for social and sporting activities as well as those gathering for religious purposes are unfortunate. This kind of insensitivity could be the weak link in our collective effort to break the chain of transmission.
“Anyone could be a carrier of #COVID19 without showing symptoms immediately and looking at global transmission,one weak link can lead to community vulnerability. Please help the government, @NCDCgov and @LSMOH by playing your role which is to #StayHomeSaveLives”.
