Abstract
On 11 March 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the new
coronavirus COVID-19 outbreak as a global pandemic. The COVID-19 burden
has been asymmetrically distributed. The EAC region has reported an estimated
7.3% of the cases and 4.4% of the deaths reported in Africa. The report seeks
to document the interventions put in place to flatten the curve of COVID-19
transmission, examine the impact of COVID-19 on health outcomes, and describe
interventions to mitigate the socioeconomic impact.
