Lagos State Commissioner for Health, Prof. Akin Abayomi, said on Friday at least 2,381 COVID-19 patients had not been admitted to any of the state’s isolation centres.

Abayomi, who disclosed this on his Twitter handle, said Lagos contributes 42 percent of the country’s COVID-19 burden.

He added that the state accounts for 23.6 percent of the total COVID-19 fatalities in Nigeria.

The commissioner, however, said the summary suggested competence in the management of confirmed cases in the state.
