A lockdown in Lagos – together with the neighbouring state of Ogun and the capital Abuja – came into force on following an announcement by President Muhammadu Buhari. According to him, the fight against the virus was a “matter of life and death”.
With that announcement, more than 25 million people are placed on a two-week lockdown in parts of Nigeria in a bid to curtail the spread of coronavirus.
Lockdown is an emergency protocol that usually prevents people or information from leaving an area.
A full lockdown usually means that people must stay where they are and may not enter or exit a building or rooms within said building. If people are in a hallway, they should go to the nearest safe, enclosed room.
Currently, Lagos State has 1, 933 confirmed cases of the COVID-19. There have been 14 fatalities.
