WORSHIP centres are to reopen in Lagos as the government on Thursday released guidelines to further ease the lockdown.

Also to commence business are hotels and the hospitality industry, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu said.

The reopening of churches, mosques and the hospitality business will take effect from June 19.

Worship centres will, however, only be allowed to conduct services on Sundays for Christians and Fridays for Muslims.

Midweek services and vigils will remain suspended.

Churches and mosques are not expected to operate beyond 40 per cent of their membership while those with large congregation where the members exceed 500, will be permitted to hold more than one service.
