The Tanzania’s President John Pombe Magufuli has officially declared the country coronavirus-free. President Magufuli made the pronouncements in his address from Tanzania's capital Dodoma on Monday 20th, July.
"We decided to pray to God to save us from the virus. God has answered our prayers," he said.
Magufuli made the declaration while appointing the new officials who will continue spreading the good word about the country as a go-to tourist destination even as pandemic continues to ravage lives across the world.
However, international flights in Tanzania also resumed operations on May 18 allowing visitors from all over the world who would want to see the majestic wilderness of the country.
He said for Tanzania to keep attracting more tourists, every leader at his or her capacity should be an ambassador for the rest of the world to understand that the country is safe.
"Tanzania is safe and this is evident by the many airlines that are bringing tourists," added President Magufuli.
The Tanzanian government has also embarked on issuing new guidelines for obtaining a Covid-19 certificate for both locals and foreigners wishing to travel to countries where those documents are needed.
Whereas Tanzania has held a tight grip on the truth of what is really happening after the last official Covid-19 report on April 29 gave a total of 480 cases and 16 deaths.
Unlike most countries across the world, Tanzania has never gone under any form of lockdown and even opened up school after a brief hiatus after the first cases were reported
