Following the news that Chloroquine is the vaccine for coronavirus, many Lagosians have started taking the drugs to prevent the disease.

The Lagos State Government had confirmed that hospitals in the state have begun receiving patients suffering from Chloroquine overdose. 

The Lagos State government, through the Senior Special Assistant (SSA) on Health, Dr. Oreoluwa Finnih was quoted by the Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Mr Gboyega Akosile, as saying that some hospitals in the state are now treating patients who took too many quantities of chloroquine, leading to poisoning.
