Lagos State Governor, his Excellency Governor Babajide Sawoolu, announced his Covid 19 test result to be negative.

He pointed that, anybody could be a carrier of Covid 19 and has a leader in front line, he need to be tested to and him and his family are negative.

Here is the statement he tweeted,

“As a responsible leader, it was important that I get tested for #COVID19 to ensure nothing distracts me from my role of leading Lagos during this period. I am happy to announce that my result has returned NEGATIVE. My family and aides are negative as well.

While we celebrate the small mercies, reports of youths gathering for social and sporting activities as well as those gathering for religious purposes are unfortunate. This kind of insensitivity could be the weak link in our collective effort to break the chain of transmission.

Anyone could be a carrier of #COVID19 without showing symptoms immediately and looking at global transmission,one weak link can lead to community vulnerability. Please help the government, @NCDCgov and @LSMOH by playing your role which is to #StayHomeSaveLives”.
