There are other problems including reduced sales revenue, pay cuts and job losses, and disruption of health care services. This is a global reality and Lagos state, the commercial hub of the country, has recorded 30 positive cases (at the time of writing) and discharged home two cases after they had received weeks of care whilst at a government-approved isolation centre in the State [3]. However, there is a strong possibility that there are undetected and asymptomatic cases; hence we may see a significant rise in the coming weeks. As expected, people with ill health will present to clinics and emergency wards, and health care workers will continue to be at the frontline of this pandemic whilst being at increased risk of exposure to the virus.
