Lagos Considers Full Reopening of Economy, Worship Centres
One week after the partial easing of the lockdown on the state, Lagos state government is considering reopening the state to full business activities.
The governor spoke at a briefing after the State’s Security Council meeting held at the State House in Marina. He said: “We are at a level where we are reviewing the other arms of the economy. In the coming days, we will be starting what we call Register-to-Open, which means all players in the restaurant business, event centres, entertaiment, malls and cinemas will go through a form of re-registration and space management.
Sanwo-Olu said the Government agencies also would be visiting places of worship to evaluate their level of preparedness ahead of full reopening. He stressed that social distancing and hygiene would be fully considered in determining whether mosques and churches can re-open in the future. The governor disclosed that all the 10 staff of the Government House who tested positive for Coronavirus had fully recovered and returned to their beats. He said the disclosure was necessary to further promote transparency in the reporting and management of coronavirus cases by the State Government.
He reiterated that the use of face mask in public places was compulsory, while disclosing that the State had distributed a million free face mask to residents in the last two weeks. Thousands more will be distributed in the course of the week, the governor said.
