Easing Lockdown is just thesame as Lockdown without palliatives. The best option is to Lockdown, provide palliative & embark on free mass testing & contact tracing. Anything short is just another suicide mission.183 in Lagos is just the beginning. Govt must take responsibility.

From lifting the lockdown boom 183 in Lagos, this is really terrifying. The truth is, relaxing this lockdown has done more harm than good and federal govt needs to intervene and do something as a matter of urgent.

I wouldn't say the easing of the lockdown is the only problem here, i mean there was already community transmission on going even before the lockdown was relaxed, i feel @NCDCgov are probably conducting more test now.
