The Lagos state government today discharged 60 COVID-19 patients to return to their families, from one of the Infectious Disease Center in Yaba.
The announcement was made on the Governor’s official ig handle, he wrote:
Today, we discharged 60 COVID-19 Lagos patients; 40 males and 20 females, from our Yaba, Eti-Osa and Ibeju-Lekki isolation facilities to reunite with their families and society.
The patients, 31 from the 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 COVID-19 confirmed cases that have been successfully managed and discharged in Lagos is now 321.
The high number of discharged patients should not be an avenue for us to shun all precautionary measures to avoiding the transmission and spread of the virus.
It is important that we do the right things and act responsibly at this time.
Easing the lockdown is not a reason for us to rush out and eschew all safety guidelines.
Social distancing should be strictly adhered to.
If you have no reason to be out, please stay home, stay safe and save lives.
And if you must go out, please Mask Up.
