Ten members of staff of the Lagos State Government House, Marina have tested positive for Coronavirus (COVID-19).
Commissioner for Health, Professor Akin Abayomi, made this known in a series of tweets on his Twitter page on Thursday.
Abayomi added that the state governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, and his wife, Joke have consistently tested negative for COVID19 following three consecutive tests conducted on them recently.
The commissioner, however, urged Lagosians to continue to embrace the MaskUpLagos initiative and observe all precautionary measures such as physical distancing, hand washing and other personal hygiene.
Abayomi noted that all directives on easing lockdown in Lagos State remain in force.
