There are seven fewer YSL defendants locked up and awaiting trial after seven took plea deals.

But there are still about 20 facing RICO and other charges next month.

A lot of the YSLs still in jail have come down with COVID.

As such, Young Thug is being forced to take a COVID test.

So far, the result of Thugger's test haven't been made public.

With jury selection slated to start on January 5, it's possible a cascaded outbreak among defendants could push back the trial.
