Africa's biggest economy now44 confirmed corona virus cases at the time of reporting. Lagos' current tally from that number stands at 29.
Only traders in food and medical items will be allowed to open shop.
The governor announced that all parks, gyms and public markets in the commercial capital, would close on Thursday, March 26, 2020, for at least seven days.
He said Lagos cannot afford a total lock down as some have suggested because of the economic implication, citing millions of residents who cannot afford to stock up on essential items.
“We know what our poverty line is, and I’m a very realistic leader,” he said. “We need to be considerate of that.
“Since my last address to you on Sunday, March 22, 2020, we have seen an increase in the total number of confirmed cases nationwide with Lagos leading the pack with the most number of newly confirmed cases.
