Sanwo-Olu: Lagos using private buildings as isolation centres

Lagos Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has revealed the state has been using some private buildings as isolation centres.

He however said the converted buildings are unknown to the public.

Speaking during a media briefing on Monday, the Governor said the government has decided not to disclose the private properties so that they will not be stigmatised after the pandemic.

There have been several conversations. People wrote that Lagos is out of bed spaces but the very next day we opened another isolation centre. We are opening another isolation centre for the health workers.

“We have other isolation centres that are not known to the media because they are private properties. They are private hotels.

“We do not want a situation where post-COVID, it becomes a stigmatised place. People are going there and they are getting well.”
