Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu said he would increase the salaries of all health workers who are in the fore front of the fight against coronavirus in the state.
Governor Sanwo-Olu stated this during a televised media briefing on coronavirus updates in Lagos on Monday.
“We are increasing the salaries of all health workers in Lagos,” he said.
He also commended the health workers for their sacrifices and professionalism in fighting coronavirus in the state.
Also at the briefing, the governor vowed to prosecute victims of COVID-19 who lie to health professionals about their travel history.
He said the state executive has resolved to prosecute such people, adding that some of them have been identified and will be used as scapegoats.
“These patients do not only endanger their lives but the lives of our front line medical personnel, we already have some names and they will be prosecuted duly.
“We would therefore like to appeal to our health workers to raise alarm as soon as they notice anything of sort, he said.
Governor Sanwo-Olu also said his administration would enforce the compulsory use of face masks by residents in the state from next week,
