Five patients who have recovered from coronavirus were on Monday discharged from the Infectious Disease Centre, Yaba Mainland Hospital, Lagos.
This has brought the total number of discharged patients from the centre to eight.
Sources said the discharged persons who preferred anonymity looked healthy and stable as they expressed satisfaction over the treatment they received.
While appreciating Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, they pleaded that the workers at the centre should be given life insurance.
Speaking to reporters, one of the patients said he was brought in on March 15 and after testing positive, he was asked to come back the next day.
