The battle against coronavirus in Nigeria is yielding a positive result as 11 patients were on Thursday discharged from hospital in Lagos.
This brings to 20 the number of patients treated and discharged in Nigeria.
In a statement, Governor Babajide-Sanwo-Olu said the discharged patients had fully recovered and tested negative to COVID-19.
He said: “The patients include two females and nine males, who were discharged after testing negative twice consecutively to COVID19.
“That the tests results of these patients came out negative twice is a big assurance to us that they pose no threat to the community. We are, therefore, releasing them in furtherance of our commitment for a disease-free state.
The governor expressed joy that the state has not recorded any fatality.
He said: “We will not rest on our oars but continue to work assiduously for the full recovery of the other patients so that they can return home to their families and the community.
