Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, says the state has discharged seven coronavirus patients – three females and four males – after they tested negative twice for the virus.

Mr Sanwo-Olu in a Twitter thread on Friday said the patients were discharged from the Infectious Disease Hospital, Yaba.

He said: “Dear Lagosians, I bring you more good news from our Infectious Disease Hospital, Yaba. Today, 7 more patients; 3 females and 4 males were discharged to reconnect with the community after a full recovery and having tested negative twice consecutively for #COVID19.”

This brings the number of patients successfully managed and discharged from the facility to 46.

“So far, we have had 100 percent recovery from the #COVID19 cases we have admitted and managed at our isolation facilities,” the governor said.

He urged Lagosians to continue observing social distancing.

“Stay at home, observe good personal hygiene and adhere strictly to advice from our health experts. Together, a #COVID19 free Lagos is possible,” he added.
