Ogun State Government has discharged six Coronavirus patients from its Isolation Centre in Ikenne, after they tested negative twice for the virus.

The state government, in a statement signed by the Chief Press Secretary to Governor Dapo Abiodun revealed that the six patients, who had since joined their families to continue living their normal lives, brought the total number of discharged cases in Ogun to 20.

However, the statement said four new cases had been confirmed and announced in the State by the NCDC on Wednesday, bringing the total number of confirmed cases in the State to 95.

“Of these 95, there are currently 73 active cases who are receiving specialised care in Isolation Centres within the State.

“The State Ministry of Health expresses hope that as the days go by, more patients would be discharged, and urges the general public to continue to maintain social distancing as the use of face masks alone may not independently avoid the risk of infection,” the statement said.
