Sunday Dare, Minister of Youths and Sports Development, has called for increased testing of corps members for coronavirus in National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) camps nationwide.
Dare said the measure was necessary to prevent a possible second wave of the virus as being experienced in other countries across the globe.
The Sports Minister made the call when he visited the NYSC orientation camp in Mangu, Plateau state.
“I want to make sure that the testing station is properly set up and working the way it should. The same should go for all our orientation camps across the country,” he said.
“There is a second wave of COVID19 being reported and testing is one of the measures to curtail the spread. Even if someone should test positive it will only help ensure the person gets timely medical attention.
“I urge corps members and Nigerians in general to take the test especially when showing symptoms or they have been in areas where there is a high incidence of the virus.”
Dare asked corps members to utilise some initiatives under the ministry of youth and sports development.
