November 16, 2020

Mrs Walida Isa, the Coordinator, National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Federal Capital Territory (FCT) says five prospective corps members have tested positive for COVID -19.

Isa made the disclosure at the swearing-in of the 2020 Batch `B’ Stream 1 corps members on Monday in Abuja.

The coordinator, who did not disclose their names, said that 853 corps members were registered after they were tested for the virus.

She said that 858 corps members were tested for COVID- 19 and out of the number, five of them were positive.

“The five that were positive were taken to the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) for treatment. So they are not among the number we registered,’’ she said.

The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the 2020 Batch `B’ Stream 1A orientation resumed camping on Nov. 10.

NAN also reports that one week was used to test the corps members on COVID-19 before registration.
