Chloroquine found to work as treatment for Coronavirus in some tests – Minister
Ehanire said that some people had claimed they had herbs and local cures for COVID-19, “but the efficacy of medicine needs to be proven before the government can recommend it for people to take”.
He noted that other states were prepared, “but Lagos State is a forerunner because it has the most cases”.
The minister stated that the state had also learnt a lot from dealing with Ebola outbreak.
Earlier, Chairman of the Presidential Task Force for the control of COVID-19, Mr Boss Mustapha, had said that one person could endanger an entire community.
