Osun State Governor, Gboyega Oyetola, has announced the recovery and release of six coronavirus patients.
In a tweet on Wednesday, the governor said the patients were part of the 127 Osun natives who recently returned from Côte d’Ivoire.
“Another good news from our Isolation Centre, as 6 more COVID-19 patients have tested negative twice, in line with @NCDCgov protocol. The patients who are among the 127 Ivory Coast returnees have been discharged to join their families,” Oyetola wrote.
“This brings to 17, the number of cases that have tested negative twice and have been discharged after treatment in our state. The remaining two patients at our facility are responding to treatment and it is our hope they will recover soon and be released to reconnect with their families.”
The governor thanked the people of Osun for their cooperation and sacrifice.
“I also appreciate all our health workers who have been working so hard to ensure we’re all safe. You’re our heroes and we can’t appreciate your sacrifices enough. God bless you all,” he wrote.
