In order to mitigate the spread of the virus in the third wave, the ministry of health in the state said the dual-purpose facilities are located in 20 local government areas identified as high burden areas for COVID-19 infection.
“As part of efforts to mitigate the effect of the third wave of COVID-19 infection in Lagos State, the State Government through its Incident Command Structure has fully activated 10 COVID Oxygen Treatment and Sample Collection Centres as well as 20 Local Government Area Based COVID Sample Collection Sites.
“The 20 Local Government Area Based COVID Sample Collection Sites are community-based sites operated by the Medical Officers of Health in each of the 20 LGAs and supervised by the Lagos State Primary Health Care Board in collaboration with the Lagos State Biobank to increase the ease of access of residents to testing,” the ministry disclosed in the statement.
