Tanzanian president John Magufuli has ordered for the reopening of all schools on June 29. The announcement made on Monday shows that Tanzania becomes the first East African country to reopen schools fully.
While addressing parliament in Tanzania's capital Dodoma, Magufuli stated that lives have to resume to normal because of the drop in the number of Coronavirus cases in the country.
As of today, Tanzanian statistics show that it has 509 COVID-19 cases with 29 deaths according to John Hopkins University.
Tanzania's Prime Minister Kassim Majaliwa however said there were 66 active coronavirus cases in the country hospitalised in 10 regions. The other 16 regions of the country do not have an active Covid-19 case.
