Lagos State Government is setting up a makeshift isolation centre at the Onikan Stadium, it was learnt on Thursday.
It was observed that work was ongoing at the Mobolaji Johnson Stadium (formerly Onikan Stadium), with tents being mounted on the pitch.
It was gathered that the centre might be ready for use in a few days, with others planned for Badagry, Ikorodu, Epe and Ikeja.
Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Mr Gbenga Omotoso, confirmed the development.
This is as the police expressed satisfaction with residents’ compliance with social distancing and market closure.
Police Commissioner Hakeem Odumosu, who led members of his team on inspection across the state, said all markets were completely closed save for those selling essential commodities.
