According to the tweet, this brings the total number of discharged cases to 11 and 56 coronavirus cases, based to latest report by the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) on Friday night.
It would be recalled that FCT discharged seven Coronavirus patients receiving treatment few days ago.
Muhammad Bello, Minister of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), broke the news on April 8.
In other news, the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF) Boss Mustapha, has on Saturday hinted that President Muhammadu Buhari may extend the 14-day lockdown imposed because of the COVID-19 outbreak.
He that the decision to either extend or relax the lockdown is exclusive to the President.
Mustapha stated that;
Ours (the PTF) is to provide him with first-hand information that would inform that decision. So, I cannot speculate on that now.
But looking at what is happening in other climes, you would be able to deduce what might likely happen, but I’m not in a position to speculate on that.
