inception of the pandemic in the state.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that data from the
Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) shows that Nigeria has

COVID-19 cases were confirmed in Lagos as at April 30, bringing the
total number of confirmed cases in Lagos to 997.
“However, one additional #COVID-19 related death has been
recorded bringing total number of #COVID-19 related deaths to 21,”
he said.
Abayomi urged the residents to always use facemasks in public,
saying it was a collective responsibility of Lagos residents to
embrace the #MaskUpLagos initiative to reduce the spread of
COVID-19.
The commissioner added that together, COVID-19 could be defeated
in the state.
Abayomi acknowledged the heroic contributions and dedication of
health workers and members of staff of the ministry on the occasion
of May Day celebration.
“The diligence and dedication of every member of our team has
made the success recorded so far in the battle against COVID-19 in
Lagos State possible,” he said.
