…Makes wearing of face
masks compulsory
The
Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu in a tweet on his official handle on
Sunday revealed that his
administration is producing three million face masks for distribution to the
vulnerable in the state as the state prepares for compulsory
wearing of face masks.
While restating that face mask
protects people from droplets from coughing and sneezing, Sanwo-Olu noted that
it should be used in conjunction with social distancing as well as other safety
guides to curb the spread of COVID-19.
He tweeted: “Dear Lagosians, even as we observe the
lockdown, we are kicking off #MaskUpLagos; the COMPULSORY wearing of face masks
in Lagos Face masks help to protect us from droplets and secretions from
coughing, sneezing etc as not everyone that is infected will show symptoms.
“Face masks, combined with frequent
hand washing, being conscious about NOT touching our face, as well as
#SocialDistancing, are effective in slowing the spread. The state government is
currently producing about 3 million facemasks for distribution to the
vulnerable.”
The governor illuminated that “N95
& surgical masks help our medical workers stay safe while cloth masks made
to specifications that will be released by @LSMOH combined with other
guidelines will help protect our residents from #COVID19 The virus is in our
communities, let’s take this seriously.”
