What could have been responsible for this rising cases of COVID-19 among the corps members?
Were the corps members properly screened before entering the camps? Were there adequate protective measures put in place?
The NYSC gave the assurances that all safety protocols would be observed at the camps.
But is that truly the situation at the camps. The NYSC authorities must look into the situation before we experience unimaginable situations at the camps.
