The death toll has also risen to 21, an increase of six from the previously reported 15 fatalities.
Special Adviser to the Lagos State Governor on Health, Dr. (Mrs.) Kemi Ogunyemi, revealed this on Thursday while providing an update on the outbreak after meeting with members of the Lagos State Public Health Emergency Operations Centre (PHEOC).
According to Ogunyemi, the rise in cases was anticipated following the Ileya festivities, during which large gatherings occurred, noting that suspected cases are subsiding across LGAs particularly in previously affected LGAs due to the state government interventions and surveillance efforts.
