Lagos State  Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has on Friday gone into self-isolation after his close aide was tested positive for COVID-19.

The commissioner for health, Professor Akin Abayomi, disclosed this on Friday, stressing that members of the governor’s team will undergo COVID-19 test.

He said: “They will be tested by the Lagos State biobank today but will remain in isolation until the results of the tests are available.

“We are seeing slightly increasing number of COVID-19 positive cases in clusters in Lagos and all Lagosians should adhere to the prescribed advisories of safe distancing, good hand and respiratory hygiene and avoidance of unnecessary gatherings.”

There has been a surge in COVID-19 cases across the country, with health authorities warning of the possibility of a second wave of the pandemic.
