AB  -  This study investigated the Knowledge, Perception and Adherence to COVID-19 Protocols after the Pandemic by Residents of Lagos State. The study specifically sought to: determine the knowledge and perception of Lagosians of COVID-19 safety protocols; ascertain the level of adherence to COVID-19 preventive measures by Lagosians and to identify the challenges Lagos State residents face in their compliance with the COVID-19 safety protocols. To attain the goals, the study adopted survey method. Data was collected with structured questionnaire administered on four hundred (400) randomly selected residents of Lagos. The instrument for data analysis is simple statistical tools – frequency, percentage and tables. The results of the study revealed that the respondents' knowledge of the COVID-19 pandemic was very high; they were observing almost all the COVID-19 protocols by avoiding crowded places, washing their hands very often and using face masks. The study advocated that the claimed high level of knowledge of the COVID-19 protocols among Lagosians could still be further increased through media campaigns to enlighten, sensitise and re-orientate the people on the need to continue to observe COVID 19 safety protocols, while residents of Lagos should be persistently educated and enlightened on the need to maximise their adherence to COVID-19 preventive measures by applying both mainstream and social media as well as traditional mode to effectively achieve the goal.
