The University of Lagos (UNILAG) has shut down the student hostels over the rise in reported cases of coronavirus on the campus. The source said no access will be granted to any student after 12.00 noon on 15 July. “The hostels will be locked indefinitely therefore students are advised to move all their personal effects at once,” the source said. The school said in a statement on Tuesday that it is seeing “an increase in the number of patients presented to the University of Lagos Medical Centre with flu-like symptoms which are similar to COVID-19. “The Medical Centre will also return to providing emergency only services during this period, in order to protect all members of the community from potential infection within the facility.”
