The East African Community (EAC) will work from their homes for a few days as one of the steps taken by the regional organization to protect its employees against Covid-19.

“We’re not going anywhere. For a few days, we’ll be working digitally away from the EAC headquarters “He told The Citizen about it.
He explained that the decision was made by management to allow individuals who had been sick to recuperate as well as those who had not been inoculated to receive immunizations and tests.
Around 200 employees at the EAC Headquarters in Arusha who deal with critical organs will be affected by the policy.
