The US Embassy in Tanzania has warned that the risk of contracting coronavirus in Dar es Salaam, a major city and commercial port, and other regions is extremely high because it has not released COVID-19 data in several weeks.
''Tanzanian government has not released aggregate numbers on COVID-19 cases or deaths since April 29. Consequently, we are unable to provide specific guidance for U.S. citizens in Tanzania,'' it said in a statement on Tuesday.
''Given the presumed ongoing community transmission in Dar es Salaam and other locations in Tanzania, the risk of contracting COVID-19 remains high."
Tanzanian health facilities can become quickly overwhelmed in a healthcare crisis, it added...
