Lagos state government on Thursday released guidelines to further ease the lockdown.
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."
Sanwo-Olu also said those below 15 years of age and above 65 years old should not be allowed into places of worship because those within that age bracket are extremely very vulnerable to the pandemic.
According to him, the Lagos State Safety Commission will register religious centres before opening and inspect their activities to check level of compliance.
He also noted that the state government had the discretion to stop or restrict worship where there is no compliance.
Meanwhile, the Director-General of the Lagos State Safety Commission, Lanre Mojola, in a statement advised all religious and social centers within the state to commence the registration process on the designated portal www.lasgsa fetyreg.com immediately.
