The Lagos State Government has discharged 10 more COVID-19 patients including foreigners after they fully recovered from the viral infection and have tested negative.
Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, who made the announcement on Friday, said three of the discharged patients from the Yaba Infectious Isolation Centre and Onikan Centre are foreigners.
Even with the number of cases rising, we are happy to celebrate our success stories because they show that a positive #COVID19 case isn't necessarily a case of doom and gloom.

We are encouraged by these discharged cases and the support we have received from the citizens of the state in the battle against #COVID19 but I urge us all not to relent because it is imperative that we win.
