Obaseki said the patients, who had fully recovered, tested negative twice for the virus and were cleared from the isolation centres .

According to the governor, the total number of cleared and discharged patients in the state now stands at 69 with the newly discharged patients.

“This brings the number of patients successfully managed and discharged from the various isolation facilities to 69, 13 deaths and 158 active cases out of the 240 confirmed cases in the state,” he said.

He, however, lauded the doctors and nurses, who “are the frontline workers” for their efforts in curtailing the spread of the disease.
