At the #COVID19Lagos press briefing today, I explained the Changing profile of #COVID19 Disease & the #COVID192ndWave in Lagos.

Towards the end of 1st wave we experienced;
📍Changing pattern in Positivity rate
📍Isolation centre almost empty
📍Death rate dropped dramatically
At this point it was important to balance public health response and allowing the economy to reopen.

📍Schools were reopened
📍Religious hoses opened
📍Social gathering and entertainment resumed.

There was general laxity with the false sense that #COVID19 infection is down.
However by the begining of December, 2020 with the reopening of the economy and increase in testing capacity of between 1,500 to 3,000 we started witnessing increase in positivity.
