A third COVID-19 patient has been successfully delivered of a baby in Lagos.
This comes four days after another coronavirus patient gave birth at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH), Idi-Araba.
Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Gboyega Akosile, affirmed this in a statement on Saturday, stating that this took place at the Gbagada Isolation Centre.
According to him, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu described the feat as another validation of the government’s commitment to stamp out the Coronavirus from the state.
“I bring you great news from our isolation facilities. Today, a pregnant COVID-19 positive patient delivered a baby boy through the caesarian session at the Gbagada Isolation Centre. Both Mother and baby are doing well,” the governor said.
“Today’s achievement is a pointer that our strategies in Lagos State are working and yielding the desired results, and it is also a sign of victory and motivation for us as we push ahead in the battle against the Coronavirus pandemic”, he noted.
A 40-year-old woman was the first to deliver a baby at LUTH in April.
