Lagos State government has reassured the general public that testing is still free at all the COVID-19 public testing laboratories for all Lagos residents.
According to a statement released by the state information commissioner, Gbenga Omotosho, all Lagosians are enjoined to take advantage of this service if they feel unwell or feel they have had close contact with an infected person.
Omotosho said the government has established sampling centres across the State and has continued to enhance the capacity of the public testing laboratories to test all those who require testing free of charge.
“If any resident feels unwell, please lodge a complaint through the appropriate channel by calling 08000CORONA”, he said.
The Lagos State Government launched a Consortium of 7 private laboratories in the first phase as part of the testing strategy of the State to increase the accessibility of testing facilities to the organized private and corporate sector who wish to test for various reasons.
