Lagos State Governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu has implored owners of bodies in the state mortuaries to pick them for burial in line with the protocol established in the management of COVID-19 or risk mass burial by the government.

Governor Sanwo-Olu stated this while speaking at his COVID-19 Update at the State House on Saturday, April 25, 2020.

He urged Lagosians to maintain social distancing, wear nose masks during the burial while attendance must not be more than 20.

The governor also said the wearing of nosemasks in any public gathering and by those on essential services in the state is now compulsory.

Sanwo-Olu urged private sector and well meaning Lagosians to patronise local fashion designers for the production of nose masks for their staff and residents.

He also congratulated Muslim faithful for witnessing the Holy Month of Ramadan, enjoining them to take precautionary measures.

Meanwhile, Governor Sanwo-Olu said his administration would enforce the compulsory use of face masks by residents in the state from this week.
