Sanwo-Olu said the government had expected that the curve would flatten by August and that in the last two weeks, the state had continued to record drop in infections.
He also said restaurants were permitted to open for e-dining service and must ensure 50 percent maximum occupancy, while social clubs and recreation centres that had register with the government could open.
The governor, however, said event centres, lounges, gyms, spars and others would still remain close, but noted that a date would be agreed upon for their resumption in September.
“We sympathise with businesses in hospitality sector, such as event centres, lounges, gyms, spas; we will review their reopening in September and agree to a date to reopen them once the airports are open. It is just a little more time.
“All civil servants in Lagos State must comply with the guidelines, all cannot come in now. As government, we will continue to keep you inform. These are challenging time for all of us,” he said.
Sanwo-Olu added that four isolation centres had been closed as their were no more cases, saying that three were still in operational.
