COVID-19: Edo discharges four more patients
The Edo State Government has announced the discharge of four more coronavirus patients, who have tested negative for the virus and cleared from the state’s isolation centres.
The Edo State Governor, Mr. Godwin Obaseki, who disclosed this in a statement, commended the passion and commitment of health workers and other first responders on the frontline of government’s efforts at containing the pandemic. Obaseki said, “We have discharged four more patients from COVID-19 centres in the state, bringing the total number of those discharged to 39. However, the total number of deaths has risen to 6. Our frontline workers, as always, remain key to our successes. Stay safe. Stay at home.”
Okundia, who attributed the rise in number of confirmed cases to the state’s improved efforts at screening and testing, urged residents not to panic as the state government has taken serious steps to curtail the spread of the virus.
