"Of these thirteen, five, including the index

and are now late. However, seven of the
infected persons were successfully managed at
the Isolation ward in Lagos and have been
discharged home.
"Two of treated patients, a male doctor and a
female nurse were discharged yesterday

remain vigilant and will not relent as
Government continues to work with her
partners to ensure that the disease is kept out
of the country. Thank you."
