Three COVID-19 patients who received treatment at the Ondo state Infectious Disease Hospital have been discharged.
Donald Ojogo, commissioner for information, broke the news in a statement on Wednesday.
“We are delighted to inform the good people of Ondo State that three more Corona virus patients have been discharged. This brings to six, the number of patients treated and certified okay to join their families,” the statement read.
”Those discharged today are: the first Police officer who earlier tested positive in Lagos but came to Akure out of panic, the woman from Owo and the lady who had arrived Akure from Abuja but was prevented from gaining access to her apartment by the vigilant landlord.”
Ojogo said the remaining seven of the 13 confirmed cases in the state are still on admission.
Ondo recorded its first coronavirus case last month. The patient, a soldier, had returned from a trip abroad.
