The Lagos State Government has listed some protocols and guidelines that must now be put in place and implemented by hospitality and tourism establishments for re-opening of business activities in the State.

In a statement the Commissioner for Tourism, Arts and Culture, Mrs. Uzamat Akinbile-Yussuf issued over the weekend, the protocols and guidelines are meant to ensure the health and safety of all guests and staff in all the facilities involved.

According to her, the new rules affect all accommodation establishments such as hotels, motels, apartments, suites, inns, and guest houses among others.

Tourism Enterprises like event centres/entertainment places, and food establishments, like restaurants, eateries, fast food, lounge and bars, and cinemas.

The commissioner expressed that the ministry arrived at the set of protocols for the practitioners after due consultations with relevant stakeholders in the hospitality and tourism sector and in recognition of the effects of COVID-19 pandemic on the industry.

While noting that apart from the general safety protocols which include the compulsory use of face masks, regular hand washing, use of sanitisers, maintenance of social distancing, temperature check, encouragement of cashless transactions, disinfection of premises and buildings among others, owners of hospitality establishments are now required to offer 50 per cent of their space capacity to guests for now in order to maintain physical distancing, in addition to the separation of dining tables.

Akinbile-Yussuf said, “For now, there will be no buffet serving arrangement. All guests over 18 years old must be made to sign a COVID-19 form at the reception that has the name, address and phone number of guests for easy contact tracing purpose”.

For owners of food establishments such as restaurants, eateries, fast food, lounge and bar among others, she said restaurants and eateries are mandated to indicate two metres spacing on the floor to guide their customers in physical distancing.

She adds, “Fast food outlets and eateries are also to maintain take-away services for now.”

On the modalities for tourism enterprises such as event centres/entertainment places, the commissioner directed that they must hold a valid licence from Lagos State Ministry of Tourism, Arts and Culture prior to holding an event, in addition to an event safety clearance from the Lagos State Safety Commission before such event is held.

“Occupancy at any event, for now, must not exceed 50 per cent maximum capacity of the hall with a maximum duration of three hours for all social events,” she stated.

“Event centres sitting arrangement must also comply with the two metres physical spacing. All tables must be set at least five meters apart in order to maintain a safe distance and free movements”, Akinbile-Yusuf stated.

She further warned against violation of the stated conditions by event centre owners and party planners, stressing that the penalty for the infraction will attract the sum of N1m.

While maintaining that owners of cinemas are to follow all guidelines stipulated for the hospitality sector and event centres as it relates to 50 per cent capacity, two metres spacing and the signing of COVID-19 forms by customers above 18 years, the commissioner stressed that the operation of all cinemas within the state must not exceed the hours stipulated by the government to ensure compliance with the 10p.m to 4a.m. curfew directive.
