Lagos State Health Commissioner, Prof Akin Abayomi, says persons infected with coronavirus can be exercising daily and feel generally well but are secreting and transmitting the virus everywhere they

go.He noted that the state has moved from the imported stage to the community transmission stage.

“Most people don’t actually know they have coronavirus. About sixty to seventy percent of people have a very mild illness it might just feel as if you had a rough day but you’re secreting the virus and therefore you’re transmitting it. He said, “Every segment of Lagos requires a slightly different strategy. It can’t be the same cap fits all. Someone in Victoria Island doesn’t have the same priority as someone in Makoko for example. What Mr Governor is trying to do is to size up all the respective situations. He gets his situation analysis every day. He debates with his cabinet.

The question is not about people being unaware of having the virus, the real question is are those people actually getting sick from it? Or are they healthy carriers? Of the 1k+ cases how many are actively using the ventilators and how many need them?

Because they have antibodies and there was never a need for lockdown especially in tropical region... what they are supposed to promote they did not... oga we don hear thank u. Dey follow follow America

Then what are you doing about it? You just have to test! Test!!Test!!!

Corona those not have symptoms again or what?

Allow normal life to return plz. Who ever is sick should go for test. We shall all die differently and sequentially.

Even him is not aware that he has yellow fever and acute malaria type 4

Perhaps Punch could have done better with a more concise headline for this news. This reads like an alarmist headline.

Who is these one

Enough of this discovery look for solution sir.

Oga make all of una shut up hunger deh kill pass corona

It's true ,poor Nigeria system

since we don contracted this coroVirus weytin don happen! people chop peper soup well well okaze,. ugwu,. bitterlif,. drink small-lif,. I don pis & shit my own coroVirus comot for body and that's all,.shey Oyinbo dey chop all dis foods I dey chop!

Oga Ade, if they're unaware and e no kill them, then they don't have it fullstop.

This Lagos health commission be looking like someone from Thailand. This face is not Nigerian, should be investigated. Lol

What?

Because of inadequate testing,you people just lock us up in our homes without a proper plan. Even nations that are worst hit are already relaxing their lockdown.

Good at least that's a fact

It could become herd immunity as time goes on...Not every one with the illness will show it

We know this.

STFU Commissioner, in the whole of Nigeria, how many test have the FG been able to carry out for our ever large population, they will just come on air and be spewing sh!t, i guess you need the whole calendar year to conduct test for all abi? rubbish.

testing should be everwhere. Asymptomatic people can also spread it

Then make them aware....which I think should be part of your responsibility since you are partially the head (health commissioner)

Oga go and chop sand

You and your family will have it Insha Allah.....God go punish you an you generations

The avoidance of the double assault is what the government really needs to focus on. The lock down is enough to have assess the workings of the virus. You are supposed to have set up mechanisms for further and understandable advocacy and please allow people get back to hustle.

This is the more reason while the government needs to step up their game or else the will put the lives of Nigerians at risk..

That's because people don't get tested enough.

Me feels govt officials like this man, are deliberately engaging in scaremongering. It's as if other diseases never existed before corona. Its tiring now.Govt officials have clearly abandoned their jobs & instead now offering counseling, etc on coronavirus!

Obviously..

Oga,that thing is called acute malaria!Not Corona virus you are brain-washing Nigerians to believe they have.Meaning you sef dey suffer from CoronaVirusInNigeria without knowing ! You guys only looking for figures to add up and no be me or any of my families go fall victim.Amen.

5 good weeks at home no symptoms, how come, 14 days window period nko

When they was no corona what did they have

Do something on the text kits from chaina, If not more Ppl will be getting infected,

That's what am talking about

Then what are you doing about it. Stop talking and go to work. We are paying you handsomely!!!

Govt... Scam 🙄

Yes because it asymptomatic before it's start exhibiting it's symptoms

Since Boss man knows they are unawear then make them do... Or what measures are you taking to make them awear.... 🇳🇬............. Emi loju

I do totally disagree with you cos where are the prove besides there isn't any kind of equipment or machine that has been on ground to carry out test of COVID19 on lagosian from door to door as been practically practice in the developed world.

Don't mind them..they keep laughing at Abba Kyari..Its a pity

Walking corpse😭😭

Even him is not aware that he has it 🗣️😒🤷🏾‍♂️

How?

Ehn ehn. Please tell me more

Laughable Of course they are Is this news? Mtcheww

Who is to be blamed? The testing kit are in your custody, you have limited testing to high class celebrity and politicians. Nonsense

Messenger of doom

It's time to end this bullshit, please allow people to go out and start working, because we're on our own in Nigeria

But why can't test, test & test be conducted like in US to begin detect those having it?

If people have it they don’t know bcos they are doing just fine then why the lockdown as it defeats its purpose

Those suggesting they should do massive testing that is wrong & does not follow health ethics, u can't test a healthy person showing no symptoms of any disease or sickness. We say no 2 massive testing becos many people contracted this virus through testing. Contaminated equipment

Old story. Oga give us new track

This is very true...this pandemic is just sadistic

Wtf is this dude saying

After one month of lockdown? Pls that's a lie

How

This hoax of a virus is just to create fear in people and unnecessary panic. Many have it but have even cured themselves without knowing they were treating CV19, then why let them know they have it especially with this panic mode activated. Knowing will even bring more panic.

ProfAkinAbayomi , followlasg , MBuhari , jidesanwoolu, dabiodunMFR My question is,how did those patients contracted CoronaVirus? Inside the 1 month lockdown and they are still not dead? Why not use the same measures of treatment to save all lives. Drama

How does that add up? The person doesn't 'know ' the feelings of fever, headache , patched throat, drý cough, difficulty with breathing? Oga doctor/commissioner we no be small pikins, ke.

Everybody is a suspect!

As for me God love Nigeria oooo if na only our leaders hmm mm we all 4 don finish

I was saying this the other day

They have to test more peoples, the numbers is increasing daily, who knows how many their will drop today.

Maybe you start from your family members and also your relative to confirm!!!

Some of us know, but do not have access to testing facilities

And also most people don't even aware that they have recovered from coronavirus. Especially in Lagos

That is why you should test everyone, and not lock everyone.

He is right because we have asymptomatic people.

Story story story!!!! Uncle pls tell us a story🤣🤣

Has it become compulsory that one must contact it. E no go work

Like you sir

Unaware?

This is no news,tell us something different pls

That's because they don't have, are you gonna force it on them? People should be dropping dead in 14 days if they really have the virus, unless it's just another Money looting venture by our politicians. They can never have enough.

Hmm the kind of of cough that disturbed me in December😢 if na dis days my compound people for dun yapa 🏃..

NaijaFlyingDr I knew, the last sore throat and chest pain I had wasn't ordinary.

Blood of Jesus

NaijaFlyingDr How is that possible

OGA at the top don't use this to MARADONA US, if after we have been at home for four(4) weeks now. You are now saying this. Abeg second base

Please stop adding malaria Patient to your list

So with all the efforts of the Lagos State Governor, coronavirus finally moved from imported state to community transmission state.

Does that mean the virus can stay in human body for over the stipulated 2 weeks before knocking human down?

The way this man is talking - it's like he has contacted Corona Virus and he doesn't want to tell Nigerians.

That's why the govt. must be creative on how Nigerians can be tested in mass

This is sad, there must be enough sensitization to make understand how dangerous this virus can be

Exactly my point. And most of them will recover without even noticing.

It is well ooo... Any sickness someone is scared. 😟

Are you trying to say that the number of cases tonight for lagos alone is 200+?

So those people who doesn't know , had also ignorantly pass it to their families inside this lockdown. You people should try and bring good news ...

😏Ooin.. So Corona ve Now turn Ordinary Headache Abi... Bcoz Since More than 4 weeks Now.. Some people r selling Goods n Collect Money from different kind of peep n yet No Coro.. U r doing well Sir

Him too when he got tested last?

That's why massive testing is necessary
