The Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has said that since the government was trying to avert another lockdown as a result of the Coronavirus disease, the latest figures from the pandemic in the state are frightening.

Gov. Sanwo-Olu said this in a series of tweets on his Twitter handle late on Tuesday.

This followed the increase in the number of infections in the state, with 712 recorded on Tuesday.

According to the Governor, the time had come for Lagosians to adhere strictly to the rules put in place by the Lagos State Ministry of Health.

According to the tweet: “There is an urgent need for us to be more circumspect in the way we live, interact, and socialize with our friends and family. Many people are ignoring #COVID19 warnings and guidelines, thereby exposing themselves and others to the virus.
