This is in addition to four Coronavirus patients undergoing treatment at different isolation centres in the state, who were discharged.
The state Commissioner for Health, Dr Rafiu Isamotu, made this known in a statement on Saturday.

“Similarly, three health workers in the State who tested positive for Coronavirus have also tested negative for the second time and are now free of the virus.
