He explained that the patients – four females and one male – were discharged to reunite with their families and the society after testing negative for coronavirus.

Governor Sanwo-Olu noted that with the newly discharged patients, a total of 55 people have been successfully managed for COVID-19 at the state government’s isolation centres and discharged to the community.

“This news, especially on this important day, gives me joy and I am sure it does the same to you too.
