Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, says 60 coronavirus patients have been discharged in the state.
The governor said on Tuesday in a Twitter thread that the patients – 40 males and 20 females – were released after testing negative twice for the coronavirus disease (COVID-19).
“Today, we discharged 60 #COVID19 Lagos patients; 40 males and 20 females, from our Yaba, Eti-Osa and Ibeju-Lekki isolation facilities to reunite with their families and society,” Mr Sanwo-Olu wrote.
“The patients, 31 from the Mainland Infectious Disease Hospital, Yaba, 19 from the Ibeju-Lekki and 10 from Eti-Osa Isolation Centres were discharged having fully recovered and tested negative in two consecutive readings.
“With this, the number of #COVID19 confirmed cases that have been successfully managed and discharged in Lagos is now 321.”
Sanwo-Olu urged Lagosians to “do the right things at this time” and that the gradual easing of the lockdown was not a reason for the public “to rush out and eschew all safety guidelines”.
