The Lagos Government on Thursday stated it has discharged seven sufferers from the Mainland Hospital, an infectious sickness facility in Yaba vicinity of the state.

Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu disclosed this by his verified Twitter handle @jidesanwoolu.

He had tweeted;

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.

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. Again, I assure you that at the end of it all, we will be victorious. Thank you.
