Following the spread of the Covid-19, a member of Lagos State House of Assembly, Hon. Gbolahan Yishawu representing Eti-Osa constituency 02 has called on Lagosians, especially his constituents, to cultivate the habits of washing their hands regularly with soap.
The lawmaker said having recorded a case in Lagos, citizens need not be scared, but to adhere strictly to preventive measures.
Yishawu, who is a Chairman House Committee on Budget and Economic Planning reteirated that people should cover their mouth and nose properly with handkerchief or tissue paper when sneezing and or coughing.
“As Ministry of Health said, cough into your elbow if handkerchief is not available. Avoid close contact with anyone showing symptoms of respiratory illness such as cough and breathing difficulties.
” From current evidence, it appears that death is a rare outcome and occurs mostly in patients with underlying illnesses” he said.
Yishawu also told his constituents to avoid self medication and report to the nearest health facility if experiencing any of the above mentioned symptoms.
He therefore appealed to constituents not to panic but to do the needful in protecting themselves.
