The Ebonyi National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has begun free Covid-19 test for all staff and prospective corps members for the Batch B Stream 1A
The Public Relations officer of the Corps in Ebonyi state, Ngọzi Ukwuoma who confirmed this said the Old MacGregor College Permanent Orientation Camp started the free COVID-19 test for all staff and prospective corps members on Monday.
According to her, all camp officials including the State Coordinator, Mercy Bamai, and all prospective corps members took the COVID 19 test before they were allowed into the camp.
“All other Covid-19 safety protocols are strictly adhered to here on camp by the members of the camp community”, she said.
Mrs Bamai in her own reaction said that due to the Covid-19 protocol which stipulates social distancing, the number of prospective Corps members deployed to the state is lower from what it used to be in the past.
“We are expecting about 650 prospective Corps members unlike before when we used to have between 1000 to 2000 corps members”, she said.
