“The total number of discharged patients in the FCT is now 459.”

This came days after the Chairman of the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19, Boss Mustapha, said on Friday the Federal Capital Territory remains one of the red spots in the country where community spread of the virus was prevalent.

He stated this while receiving a donation of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) worth N10 million from Rotary District 9125.
