The Lagos government has said that it was spending a huge amount of money to treat COVID-19 patients and maintain isolation facilities in the state.
The state Health Commissioner, Professor Akin Abayomi, who disclosed this at a press briefing on Thursday, hinted that it cost the government per day between N500,000 to N1 million to treat a single COVID-19 patient requiring intensive care.
On the average for patients with mild coronavirus cases, the government said it usually spends N100,000 per day to treat each patient.
“To treat mild to moderate case-patients in our isolation centre is somewhere in the region of N100,000 per day.
