Anambra State Coordinator, National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), Kehinde Aremu on Monday said the state recorded a case of COVID-19 among the prospective corps members deployed to the state for the one-year national service.

Aremu who disclosed this to newsmen at the swearing-in of 2020 Batch ‘B’ stream 1A corps members at the permanent orientation camp in Umuawulu/Mbaukwu, said the case was immediately handed over to the government through the disease management team.

He said the Scheme worked with the National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) to enable it to manage the corps members as well as ensure operations of the scheme were not interrupted.
