Dear Lagosians,

The patients; 1 from the Mainland Infectious Disease Hospital, Yaba, 13 from Onikan, 11 from Gbagada, 5 from Agidingbi and 1 from Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH) Isolation centers have been released to go home to their loved ones.

With this, the number of patients successfully managed and discharged from our Isolation facilities has risen to 738.

The recovery of COVID-19 patients is encouraging, and we thank our front line health workers for the remarkable progress we have made so far in our battle against this pandemic.

I urge us all not to relent in the battle against the this global pandemic, we must continue to practice hand hygiene, wear our face masks and observe the social distancing protocol.

If we continue to do the right things and obey the stipulated public health safety guidelines, the chain of COVID-19 transmission can be broken in our state.

Thank you.
