Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu has urged members of the public to disregard a list making the round on social media of hospitals and health facilities purportedly exposed to COVID19 cases in the State.

The Executive Secretary, Lagos Health Facility and Accreditation Agency (HEFAMAA) who disowned the list which was purported to have emanated from the Ministry of Health disclosed that the Ministry of Health through HEFAMAA never issued any statement advising the public not to patronize certain facilities in the State.

”This is the handiwork of mischief makers and fake news merchants who are bent on causing panic in the community and eroding the successes recorded in the battle against COVID-19.

I urge all residents to disregard the list in its entirety and rely solely on the State Ministry of Health and HEFAMAA for information on the operation of health facilities and management of COVID-19 cases, especially at this critical time”, she said.
