Four members of the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) Batch “B” Stream II in Taraba state have tested positive to COVID-19.

This comes barely few days after the NYSC camps opened nationwide for various activities.

Sources gathered that three corps members who tested positive on Tuesday during screening, are currently at the Isolation Centre of the state’s Orientation Camp in Jalingo.

The fourth case was discovered on Wednesday. But the Isolation Centre has no electricity or medication.

A source in Taraba state also confirmed the situation to Newsmen, saying the patients have been abandoned since their status was established.

Meanwhile the NYSC Director of Public Relations, Adenike Adeyemi, is yet to react to the development.

The situation again brings to the fore Nigerians’ complaints about the shoddy handling of coronavirus cases by authorities.

The federal government and the NYSC management had boasted that measures were in place to handle infections at camps.

The Presidential Task Force (PTF) on COVID-19 recently revealed that 731 Batch B corps members tested positive.

Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha, said the PTF conducted the testing of batch B corps members using RDTs.

The SGF disclosed that in 2020, out of 35,419 participants in Batch B stream, 731 tested positive, compared to 108 recorded in Batch A.
