The government of Lagos on Monday said five coronavirus (Covid-19) patients at the Infectious Disease Centre, Yaba Mainland Hospital, had been discharged.

It was learned that the patients, who preferred anonymity, looked stable.

“I came in here on the 15th and after the test showed positive, I was asked to come back the next day. So I was admitted here,” one of the patients reportedly said.

“Initially, there were hitches but it later turned out fine. The health workers did fine, all our challenges were attended to. I’m a living witness together with my other colleagues.”

Concise News understands that eight patients have so far been discharged from the Centre.
