Three foreigners – British, Chinese and Polish – were among 16 coronavirus patients discharged in Lagos on Wednesday, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu has said.
Mr Sanwo-Olu said in a Twitter thread that the number of patients successfully managed and discharged from the state’s facilities was now 85.
“Good people of Lagos, I have more great news from our isolation facilities. 16 persons; 14 males and 2 females including 3 foreigners – 1 British, 1 Chinese and 1 Polish citizen have been discharged to join the society,” he wrote.
The governor added: “The patients; 14 from IDH, Yaba and 2 from Onikan Isolation centre have fully recovered and tested negative twice consecutively to #COVID19.
“This brings the number of patients successfully managed and discharged from our facilities to 85.
“As our 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, practising social distancing and adopting the highest possible personal hygiene.”
Sanwo-Olu assured that his administration would continue to do its best to “cushion the effect of this lockdown by re-energising our welfare package.”
