OVER 600 COVID-19 CASES IN TANZANIA.
Tanzania has now recorded 682 Covid-19 cases since the third wave of the viral disease broke out across the globe, Health Minister Dr Dorothy Gwajima said on Thursday.
Dr Gwajima said the patients were receiving treatment in different healthcare centres.
The government, on June 28, for the first time in over a year made public the data, where President Samia Suluhu Hassan revealed that there were 100 new Covid-19 cases in the country, with 70 in critical condition then.
The President relayed the alarming statistics during her maiden press conference at the State House in Dar es Salaam.
As the third wave seems to be catching steam, President Hassan has continued to remind Tanzanians to take precautions to protect themselves from the pandemic. In one instance she cited some of the regions that have so far been hit by the deadly third wave.
