Amid the rising number of cases and the refusal of some persons who test positive for COVID-19 to go  to isolation centres, many states have said they will continue to treat the infected patients at isolation centres rather than resort to home treatment option. They noted that getting persons who had tested positive for the virus to the isolation centres remained one of their strategies to contain the spread of the deadly virus.  Lagos State had on Thursday said it was considering adopting home treatment option for patients with mild symptoms, noting that it would soon release the guidelines for the treatment option.

Is life measured by the actions taken throughout one's lifetime? Or is it measured by the number of challenges a person overcomes in life. Whatever the case may be, both religion and history agree on one fact, a life well spent is that which leaves a positive mark on the sands of time.
