I have just risen from a virtual Executive Council meeting on issues around the resurgence of COVID-19 and how we should tackle this serious matter. 
@jidesanwoolu @drobafemihamzat @gboyegaakosile1 @gbenga_omo #LASG #ForAGreaterLagos #Covid19LASG
The Lagos State Government has sadly noticed that there is an unfortunate public perception that we have seen the end of the COVID-19 pandemic; that the worst is over. This is absolutely wrong and dangerous.
