Lagos State Government says it has commenced prosecution of inbound international passengers who fail to submit themselves for Day Two and Day Seven PCR tests as mandated by the Federal COVID-19 protocols and guidelines.
A statement issued on Tuesday by the Director, Public Affairs, of the Health Ministry, Tunbosun Ogunbanwo, disclosed that the move became necessary as a result of the dramatic rise in COVID-19 positive cases seen in the evolving fourth wave.
The statement stressed that unvaccinated inbound passengers and anyone testing positive for COVID-19 are mandated to self-isolate at home for seven days.
It, however, advised passengers coming into the state to abide by the laid down protocols, noting that ignorance of the law will not be an acceptable excuse.
