Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu tweeted on Monday that the six were released from the state's Infectious Disease Hospital in Yaba after testing negative twice.
He said the state will not relent until the threat of the coronavirus disease is completely neutralised.
"I thank you all for your continued perseverance especially at this critical time. This sacrifice of ours, I am most certain will not be in vain," he posted.
