In the Cross River Youth Corp camp, it has been reported that 13 NYSC members have tested positive for coronavirus.
Confirming this, Betta Edu , the Commissioner for Health in Cross River Staten stated that:
“We had people who came in from the NYSC, about 13 of them were positive cases. So, these are people who moved into our state from other states.
“The other ones are people who are residents in the state.
“However, it clearly shows that the second wave of the COVID-19 is here on us, so people need to improve on their level of adherence to all the COVID-19 protocols.
“It is also a call for the federal government to see that they can immediately come in and help Cross River State fix their lab so that we can do community sampling and testing and really have a true picture of what might be going on in communities, as we already do know that community spread is taking place.”
