"The mistake we can all make is to think the #COVID19 virus has gone away.

Corps members have to work collaboratively with us to sustain the goals we have made in mitigating the risk of transmission in orientation camps"

DG NCDC, Dr. Chikwe Ihekweazu

"All prospective corps members MUST fill a #COVID19 self reporting CIF form on their NYSC dashboard.

This form will be presented at various orientation camps on deployment for registration and Rapid Diagnostic Test (RDT)"

- Dr Oyeladun Okunromade, NCDC
