The Lagos State government says hospitals in the state have begun receiving patients suffering from Chloroquine overdose.
Donald Trump announced on Thursday March 19th that the drug is a likely cure for Coronavirus. Some Nigerians immediately rushed to the pharmacists to purchase and drink Chloroquine as a preventive measure.
The Lagos State government, through the Senior Special Assistant (SSA) on Health, Dr. Oreoluwa Finnih was quoted by the Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Mr Gboyega Akosile, as saying that
some hospitals in the state treat patients who took too much chloroquine, leading to intoxication. Finnih urged state residents to refrain from the massive use of chloroquine, hoping that the coronavirus would improve, adding that it was best to visit hospitals.
The tweet from Akosile states
Please note: Hospitals Now Receiving Patients Suffering From Chloroquine Poisoning, Says Gov @jidesanwoolu’s SSA on Health, Dr @Oreoluwa_Finnih. She urged people against massive consumption of Chloroquine as a measure to fight #coronavirus.”
The Commissioner for Health in the state, Professor Akin Abayomi, spoke at a press briefing where he stated that no evidence yet to back up claims of Chloroquine being effective in the treatment of Coronavirus

📎 The key is : Learn how to BE HAPPY BY YOURSELF FIRST. Because a human being that is happy on his/her own will never settle to be miserable with someone else. When you find happiness on your own then you will be able to spread it and share it with someone else. #jaiyeorie ... CRITIC ALSO 🖋️ spill TEA ☕ Easy on Shade 💣
