731 Batch B NYSC Members Test Positive For COVID-19 – PTF

The Presidential task force on COVID-19 on Tuesday announced that 731 Batch B members of the National Youths Service Corps (NYSC) have tested positive for COVID-19.

PTF chairman Boss Mustapha said during a briefing in Abuja that the PTF conducted the testing of Batch B corps members using RDTs.

Out of 35,419 in the batch, 731 tested positive compared to the 108 recorded in Batch A, he said.

β€œIt is on record that cases were recorded from corps members from every state of the federation,” Mr Mustapha added.

He also said β€œthere is also a rising rate of infections among healthcare workers and this calls for the escalation of surveillance.

β€œIn Africa, Nigeria has joined South Africa in reporting the highest daily infection cases.

β€œβ€‹As at date, the statistics for Nigeria shows the following: cumulative cases: 91,351; cumulative tests: 958,911; deaths: 1,318 and week 53 recorded 57 deaths which is the highest for any single week since we started.”
