TANZANIA IN COVID-19 U-TURN

TANZANIA’S POPULATION is being encouraged to get COVID-19 vaccinations in a spectacular change of policy.

Following the scepticism of former President John Magufuli, a vaccination drive has commenced which has been led by new President, Samia Suluhu Hassan, who has just been given her jab.

After Magufuli’s death earlier this year, President Hassan began a taskforce on the virus. In total, the country has officially reported 29 deaths and 858 cases, however, with a population of over 58 million people, there are fears that the figure is significantly higher.
