Ten patients
receiving treatment for COVID-19 in
Lagos state have been discharged.
Babajide Sanwo-Olu,
governor of the state, broke the news on Friday, disclosing that they are three
females and seven males.
Among those
discharged are three foreigners: two Indians and one Filipino.
“Even with the
number of cases rising, we are happy to celebrate our success stories because
they show that a positive #COVID19 case isn’t necessarily a case of doom and
gloom,” he wrote.
“Today, 10 patients;
3 females & 7 males including 3 foreigners have been discharged from our
facilities.”
With the
development, the state has discharged a total of 117 patients.
Lagos currently has
582 COVID-19 cases, the highest number out of Nigeria’s total of 981 cases.
Earlier this week,
Akin Abayomi, commissioner for health, had said the state would embark on
active case search, since there was now evidence of community-based
transmission.
“We’re hoping to run
at least two to three thousand tests in the coming week as we embark on the
active case search in the community; of course, as we test more we’re likely to
see more positivity,” he had said.
“We already know
that the virus is circulating in the community, and the more we look for it,
the more we will find but that is in keeping with our strategy.”
