The state Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, disclosed this today when he spoke at an appointment after the State’s Security Council meeting held at the State House in Marina.
According to the governor, the government would be rolling out the Register-to-Open initiative as a part of the plans that might enable it to assess the extent of readiness of the players within the identified sectors for supervised operations. The governor said officials from the Lagos State Safety Commission (LSSC) and Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency (LASEPA) are going to be visiting restaurants, companies, religious houses to assess their level of readiness.
With the dimensions of the State’s economy and numbers of companies that operate in its domain, the Governor said the govt couldn't afford to stay people and businesses on lockdown permanently.
He added that 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.
Furthermore, He urged businesses, religious houses, and residents to maintain the status quo while the State works out modalities for full re-opening.
The Governor disclosed that all the 10 staff of the Government House who tested positive for Coronavirus (COVID-19) 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.
In the end, He enjoined banks and markets to strictly enforce orderliness in their premises. He directed that elderly people must be given the priority to transact their businesses in banks and markets between 9am and 10:30am, after which other younger customers should be allowed to transact.
