Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, said 16 persons; 14 males, and two females including three foreigners – one British, one Chinese, and one Polish citizen have been discharged to join the society from the isolation centre.

The patients; 14 from the Infectious Disease Hospital, IDH, Yaba and two from Onikan Isolation Centre have fully recovered and tested negative twice consecutively to Coronavirus.

“This brings the number of patients successfully managed and discharged from our facilities to 85,” Sanwo-olu said.

The Governor disclosed this on his official Twitter handle this Wednesday.

The statement further reads: “As front line health workers record successes in the battle against #COVID19, we are duty bound as citizens to break the chain of transmission of the infection by staying safe at home, practicing social distancing and adopting the highest possible personal hygiene.”

He said the state will continue to do its best to cushion the effect of the lockdown by re-energizing the welfare package.
