The number of coronavirus patients discharged in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) climbed to 20 on Wednesday, with the release of additional two from the National Hospital Centre. This was announced by the FCT Ministerial Expert Advisory Committee on Covid-19 .
This followed the discharge of seven patients from the University of Abuja Teaching Hospital Covid-19 Isolation and Treatment Centre late on Tuesday, according to a message early Wednesday by the FCT Administration Covid-19 Media Team .
The number discharged on Tuesday raised the number of such recoveries in the FCT to 18, as the Administration had earlier discharged 11 persons in two batches and was optimistic that more patients would be discharged.
The patients who were discharged late Tuesday were believed to have satisfied all the necessary protocols preparatory to their being certified Covid-19 free.
The FCT Administration made this known in a short message from its Covid-19 Media Team obtained by journalists in Abuja.
“We are happy to announce that seven patients were discharged from UATH Isolation Center, Gwagwalada today.
The remaining ones are clinically stable and responding well to treatment. To God be the glory”, the message read.
