The Lagos State Commissioner for Health, Prof. Akin Abayomi, has said majority of COVID-19 patients in the state prefer to be treated at home, rather than being admitted to the state’s isolation facilities.
Abayomi, at a briefing on Thursday, lamented that many people give false information when they come for tests, making it difficult for them to be traced when their results come out positive.
He said 2,036 cases were confirmed in the past two weeks, but the patients had not been picked from the community for treatment.
The commissioner added that, the state was spending between N100,000 and N1m on a daily basis for each patient receiving care at its isolation facilities.
