The Nigeria Centre for Disease Control has confirmed that 138 members of the National Youth Service Corps had so far tested positive for COVID-19 pandemic.
Its Director-General, Dr. Chikwe Ihekweazu, stated this at the national briefing on COVID-19 yesterday in Abuja.According to him, 34,785 corps members and members of the camp communities have been tested with 138 turning positive representing 0.4 per cent prevalence.The NCDC boss said those who tested positive were either managed at home or in a treatment centre, depending on if they had symptoms and what state they were in.
“Universities are slightly riskier and present unique challenges, but we are confident that we can address this as we have done in other sectors like aviation,” Ihekweazu said.
What is even the essence of this so called NYSC in Nigeria that these youth are killing themselves contracting Covid up and down? For me it means absolutely nothing anymore!
It’s now the Corp members that have Corona chaii
We pray for their quick recovery.
