According to reports, at least 11 members of the NYSC have tested positive for COVID-19 at Sibre NYSC Orientation Camp, near Jalingo, Taraba State.
This was disclosed by the Taraba State Commissioner for Health, Dr Innocent Vakkai, during a media briefing in Jalingo. The Commissioner said the 11 corps members who tested positive for the virus are responding to treatment at the isolation center in the state.
The 11 infected corps members were discovered with the virus after they were tested on arrival at the camp. They were isolated in a hotel following the vandalization of the state isolation center by hoodlums during the EndSARS protest.
The Commissioner called on the people of the state to remain indoors and avoid unnecessary gatherings, especially during the festive period.
