Earlier on Monday, the Lagos State Government discharged five coronavirus patients who were admitted to and treated at the Infectious Disease Centre, Yaba Mainland Hospital.
This was revealed in a statement signed by Gboyega Akosile, the Chief Press Secretary to the Lagos State Governor.
According to him, the survivors are four males and one female, bringing the number of survivors from the centre to eight.
The statement noted that the survivors were quarantined and treated at the isolation centre for two weeks after testing positive for coronavirus.
Also, he explained that the survivors who preferred to remain anonymous looked stable and unruffled, saying they felt very happy they had been given a clean bill of health.
