THE National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) has said no corps member presently undergoing orientation course in all the camps nationwide have tested positive to COVID-19.

The NYSC said this on Sunday in a statement by the Director, Press and Public Relations, Mrs. Adenike Adeyemi, in Abuja.

The NYSC was reacting to reports that eight corps members undergoing orientation exercise tested positive to the virus.
