Tanzanian official say Covid-19 has been defeated, tells citizens to go and party.
"Hotel owners, barbers, companies and businesses are all back to work. By Sunday, everyone should be happy … our God has won (the virus fight) for us. Turn on your music, that day I have given you freedom," these are the words of Paul Makonda, regional commissioner of Dar es Salaam.
His pronouncement is the latest in the Tanzania government's posture towards a virus that has led to the imposition of lockdowns and enforcement of physical distancing in most African countries.
During an address to a church congregation over the weekend, President Magufuli echoed the God factor in battling the virus which he said was being defeated by the country.
"There is not going to be any such thing as lockdown in Tanzania, God will help us. We need to work hard, once the other East Africans are done with their lockdown, they will come to us, and we shall still help them with food, we will not against discriminate them."
Tanzania's case count has been at 509 for weeks now. No new data have been released and government has dismissed a health alert by the US embassy about overwhelmed hospitals in the largest city, Dar es Salaam.
