Lagos discharges 21 COVID-19 patients

21 COVID-19 patients have been discharged from Isolation centres in Lagos.

According to the State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, four females and 17 males, have left the state's isolation facilities to reunite with society.

"The patients, 3 from Onikan, 1 from Eti-Osa, 1 from First Cardiology Hospital, 6 from Lekki and 10 from the Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH) Isolation Centres were discharged today having fully recovered and tested negative to COVID19 in two consecutive test readings," Sanwo-Olu said.

This has taken the total number of cases successfully managed and discharged to 469.

Nonetheless, the State Governor continued to plead for the need to practice hand hygiene and observe social distancing.

"The discharge of COVID19 patients is encouraging but we must continue to practice hand hygiene, wear a mask and physically distance ourselves when outdoors.

"If we continue to do the right things and obey the stipulated public health safety guidelines, together we can break the chain of transmission of COVID19," he admonished residents.
