Osagie Ehanire @OsagieEhanire

Yesterday I visited the @FollowLaSG Lagos State Public Health Emergency Operations Centre (PHEOC) and Isolation Unit of the @LSMoH Infectious Disease Hospital (Mainland Hospital) in Yaba, to engage with @ProfAkinAbayomi and Prof. Bode (@LUTHOfficial) and others re: #COVID19 .

I can confirm that the patient is stable. @NCDCGov has been proactive in the establishment of the PHEOC, which has now been activated for #COVID19 response, and in the deployment of a National Rapid Response Team (RRT) to support the response efforts.

@NigeriaGov and FMoHNigeria, commend the collaboration between @LSMoH, Ogun State Ministry of Health and @NCDCGov, supported by @WHONigeria (@WHO, @WHOAFRO) and other partners.

Special thanks to all staff members managing the treatment of the confirmed case and working tirelessly to trace contacts to reduce the chance of spreading #COVID19
