COVID-19: TERTIARY INSTITUTIONS IN LAGOS TO OPEN ON 14 SEPTEMBER – Gov. BABAJIDE SANWO-OLU

The Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, has announced dates for the reopening of schools in the state.

Speaking during his regular briefing on the state’s COVID-19 status, on Saturday, the governor said tertiary institutions would reopen from September 14, 2020.

“This decision is not cast on stone and is subject to review of our ongoing modelling and what procedure comes out from the Ministry of Health,” Sanwo-Olu said.

He anchored this on the decline of number of new COVID-19 cases.

The governor also said that restaurants are allowed to open for in-dining services in the state.

He, however, pointed out that restaurants must continue to ensure spaces are only filled up to 50 percent capacity.

The governor also noted that his government would do a review on the re-opening of event centres, bars, nightclubs, beaches and cinemas in the state.
