The Lagos State Government has approved the full reopening of worship centres in the state.
Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu who announced this during a briefing in the state on Saturday, said Mosques can now hold their prayers five times daily while Churches can also commence their services.
The governor reminded the religious centres to operate by the safety protocols ordered by the government.
This is coming after months of been directed to close for service after the coronavirus outbreak in Lagos.
The Lagos State Government has also okayed the reopening of gyms and cinemas in the state.
They are, however, expected to reopen with a capacity of just 33 per cent.
“Henceforth, cinemas and gyms are permitted to reopen as soon as possible, with a maximum of 33% occupancy, which means that there must be a minimum of two empty seats between occupied seats; and in the case of gyms, there must be constant disinfection of machines and equipment throughout the course of the day,” Governor Sanwo-Olu said.
At the onset of the virus in Nigeria, Lagos became the epicenter, gapping other states with its case load despite frantic efforts to curb the spread.
