Africa Press-Nigeria:<\/p>\n

The Lagos State Commissioner for Health, Akin Abayomi, has said the State will run out of bed spaces at isolation centres, if COVID-19 cases keep increasing.<\/p>\n

Abayomi stated this while addressing a press briefing in Ikeja on Friday.<\/p>\n

Lagos currently has the highest number of COVID-19 cases in Nigeria with 5,663.<\/p>\n

The state recorded its highest daily toll with 378 new cases between May 30 and June 4, reaching a total of 1,165 within that time frame.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf we carry on with the rate of positive testing that we are obtaining, we\u2019re going to run out of isolation beds in our established isolation facilities.<\/p>\n

\u201cTherefore, we are projecting. If we keep getting 150, 200 positives everyday, in another two or three weeks, even though we\u2019re opening new isolation centres all the time, in time, we\u2019re going to run out of beds.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd this has happened all over the world; it\u2019s not just in Lagos or Nigeria. Every other country has reached the same tipping point where you now have to transition from managing patients in an isolation centre to managing patients who are not that unwell at home, and reserving the isolation centres for people who are feeling unwell and need to be monitored more closely by medical personnel,\u201d Abayomi said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
