AfricaPress-Tanzania:<\/strong> President Samia Suluhu Hassan said Tuesday that she intends to form a special team of experts to examine the COVID-19 issues as well as global suggested remedies.<\/p>\n

Speaking after administering the oaths of new and reshuffled permanent secretaries and deputies at the State House in Dar es Salaam, she insisted \u201cWe can\u2019t accept everything without thorough research.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Head of State said that currently, the country cannot remain as an Island as far as the global pandemic is concerned.<\/p>\n

She added that after the research, the team of experts will advise the government what to do.<\/p>\n

She said, the government ought to have a clear stand on the matter as she insisted Tanzania can\u2019t deny or accept without research.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou read Covid-19 from other parts of the world but Tanzania dash\u2026dash\u2026dash\u2026.we are not understood. Let\u2019s be understood whether we deny or accept\u2026\u201d she insisted.<\/p>\n

Apart from taking precautions against the spreading of pandemic, Tanzania embarked on nationwide campaign to promote steam inhalation, steam therapy to fight coronavirus.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the President tasked the Ministry of Health officials to ensure that health facilities are supplied with enough medicines.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was surprised at the burial of the late President Magufuli in Chato that people, especially elders, were demanding medicine,\u201d she said as she directed officials to work on the matter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
