Tanzania President, John Magufuli has declared his country coronavirus free.
He made this announcement on Monday while attributing the acclaimed success over COVID-19 pandemic to prayers and fasting offered to God by the citizens.

Magufuli said;
“It gives me joy to be a leader of a country that puts God first, God loves Tanzania.
“The works of the devil will always be defeated in Tanzania because we love God and that is why even the coronavirus (COVID-19) has been defeated by God in our country.”
Meanwhile, the World Health Organization (WHO) has lamented over Tanzania’s government’s strategy on the pandemic.
