Just In: Lagos Restaurants To Operate Eat-In Services At 50 Per Cent Capacity – Sanwo-Olu
The Lagos State Government says restaurants in the state will be reopened at 50 per cent capacity from August 14.
Speaking during a COVID-19 briefing on Saturday at the State House in Marina, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu said the restaurants and other public places must maintain social distancing amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
Meanwhile, mosques and churches will be reopened in the state on August 9 and 11 respectively.
Ahead of the planned reopening of worship centres, religious leaders must make available hand sanitizer, thermometer guns and maintain social distancing.
“Places of worship in Lagos will now be opened from Friday, August 7 for our Muslim worshippers and on Sunday, August 9 for our Christian worshippers.
“We will only be allowing 50 per cent of their capacity at either the church or the mosque. Churches that have Saturday worship day will also be allowed to start holding their Saturday worship.
“We must reiterate that places of worship are only permitted to have their regular once a week service on designated days,” Governor Sanwo-Olu said.
