According to TheCable, Sanwo-Olu’s Special Assistant on Health, Tunde Ajayi had on Thursday announced that six patients would soon be discharged, but the governor did not state whether the patients that tested negative are the same patients Ajayi disclosed.

The governor said, “As I read this address, we are in the process of reconfirming another five or six additional patients that once they turn a second negativity, they might be allowed to go home, either tonight or tomorrow once the results are out.”
