At the National Institute of Statistics, most of the work has remained safe, according to the Director General of the INS, Joseph Tedou, speakingon May 1 , 2021 to his colleagues. A few cases of Covid-19 have been identified and treated at the Institute by health personnel. The premises were regularly disinfected and working conditions preserved. The new working environment in which we are deployed is a reason for satisfaction of the Institute’s staff, who, through their staff delegate, expressed their gratitude to the Head of State and the Prime Minister, Head of Government.
The Director General also announced that the regional agencies will benefit from the same comfort at work in the years to come.
