According to PunchNews which reported the case, at least five workers at the hospital's Covid-19 facility had tested positive for the virus.
The hospital's laboratory is a government-accredited facilities for coronavirus test in Lagos.
According information gathered by Punch, the management of the lab refused to fumigate the facility, as it had continued to expose other staff and the public to the virus.
It was learnt that there was confusion at the laboratory on Tuesday when the husband of one of the infected workers stormed the lab, accusing the management of nonchalance.
A source said owners of the medical centre on Wednesday asked a worker that tested positive for the virus to come to work.
"The issue is that most of the staff tested positive and they refused to disinfect the place. I am aware that five people who tested positive this week were asked to stay at home.
"But I discovered that one of those who tested positive was around today (Wednesday). She tested positive yesterday (Tuesday), but was asked to come to work so she could put another nurse through.
"Other workers that want to test, they are telling them it’s not possible, and that if they want to do it, they will pay 50 per cent of the price. The management has not mentioned that they will shut the place even if it is for a week or a few days for fumigation. What they did today (Wednesday) was just to change the working hours.”
