Seven COVID-19 patients have been discharged in Lagos, after
testing negative twice for the disease.
Babajide Sanwo-Olu, governor of the state, disclosed the
recoveries on Thursday in a statement.
Three of the discharged patients are non-Nigerians, and the
seven patients consist of one female and six males.
The statement read: “Good people of Lagos, I bring you
awesome news from IDH, Yaba, which is as a testament to our resolve to overcome
the lethal #COVID19 pandemic ravaging the world.
“Today, we discharged 7 more patients who have fully
recovered and tested negative twice consecutively for #COVID19. This brings to
39 the number of discharged patients in Lagos. The patients include one female
and six males; three of the discharged male patients are foreign nationals; two
Ukrainians and one Italian.
“As we look forward to more great news in the coming days, I
implore you all to support our offensive against #COVIDー19 by complying with our
directives and taking responsibility for yourselves and your community.”
He also asked for cooperation from residents as tracing of
contacts of confirmed cases continues across the state.
“In the coming days, some of our health workers will be
moving around in pairs to administer an electronic questionnaire at homes and
healthcare facilities to make enquiries about some symptoms like cough, cold
and fever,” he said.
“This is in a bid to intensify our search for possible cases
of #COVID19 in different communities across the State known as *Active Case
Search*. These officials can be identified with a #COVID19 outbreak response
tag or a letter from the LGA. I implore you to give them your maximum support
by providing accurate information that would help in containing this #COVID19
pandemic quickly.”
Lagos currently has the highest of Nigeria’s confirmed 276
cases with 145 cases in the state.
