Lagos Disowns List Of Hospitals Alleged To Have Been Exposed To COVID-19
The Lagos State Government has urged members of the public to disregard a list of hospitals and health facilities going viral on social media as being exposed to COVID-19 cases in the State.
The Executive Secretary, State Health Facility Monitoring and Accreditation Agency (HEFAMAA), Dr. Abiola Idowu disowned the fictitious list attributed to the Lagos State Ministry of Health, stating that HEFAMAA, being the accreditation agency, never issued any statement advising the public not to patronise facilities contained in the document circulated on social media.
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.
