Dr Emmanuel Opara, Chief Physiotherapists and member of the Medical Team said that the testing and enforcement of other COVID-19 protocols was going on smoothly as planned and that visitors were cooperating.

“Some people don’t like it but it’s the protocol here before you enter the camp. Generally, the process has been smooth but it’s been stressful and to tackle that, we are on shifts just to make sure everyone is tested,’’ he said.

COVID-19 protocols are also been enforced at the orientation ground where corps members are made to wear face masks, maintain physical distance, wash their hands with soap and water as well as use hand sanitizers provided nearby.
