The commissioner said that the patient had recovered and tested negative to the coronavirus.
The state’s ministry of health had on Wednesday announced that one patient had been discharged.
According to Obi, two of them are now negative for the coronavirus and have been discharged.
“We encourage our people to continue to stay home, try not to touch your face without having washed your hands, maintain strict hand and respiratory hygiene, wear a face mask in line with the NCDC’s advisory and maintain physical distancing,” he said.
The commissioner appealed to the people to call the designated helplines to report any suspected cases of COVID-19.
