The Lagos State Government has okayed
the reopening of cinemas, spas and other
recreational centres in the state, The
PUNCH reports.
Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu announced
this during a briefing on Saturday.
Like most public places, cinemas and other
recreational outlets were shut in March to
curtail the spread of the coronavirus
pandemic.
But while some public places like markets,
banks, airports, amongst others have been
allowed to reopen, cinemas, beaches and
other places of relaxation remain closed.

Giving an update on the development,
Sanwo-Olu’s Chief Press Secretary,
Gboyega Akosile, said cinemas and other
recreational outlets must obtain the
necessary clearance from the state safety
commission before reopening.
He also said cinemas are to observe
COVID-19 protocol including social
distancing and as such should keep to 33
per cent occupancy of their maximum
capacities.
“Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-
Olu, announces resumption of cinemas,
spas and gyms in the state. Cinemas must,
however, keep strictly to 33% of their
capacities.
They must get the necessary
certification from the Lagos State Safety
Commission,” the governor’s aide tweeted.
The PUNCH had earlier reported that
owners of cinemas and practitioners in the
creative industry, under the aegis of the
Cinema Exhibitors Association of Nigeria,
had asked the governor to reopen their
business.
