The Lagos State Government is putting in place strategies for the commencement of home- based management of asymptomatic and mild COVID-19 cases. He stressed that the government would pay more attention to patients with moderate and severe cases and manage such cases at the isolation centres, because they are not suitable to be managed at home. He stated that home-based care would be provided with a COVID-19 pack with which they can monitor their body temperature, measure their oxygen level and be given certain vitamins and pain reliving drugs to manage themselves. “So, if you want to manage COVID-19 in Lagos State, we are not saying you cannot. All you need to do is to submit an application and we will visit your facility to ensure that you have the required equipment and specialised personnel to manage COVID-19 cases.
