He also commended the health workers for their sacrifices and professionalism in fighting coronavirus in the state.

“We are increasing the salaries of all health workers in Lagos,” he said.

The governor also warned against panic, noting that “isolation centres are not death centres. It is important for us not to panic but to obey the regulations that have been put in place.”
