US Embassy says Covid-19 threat in Tanzania's main city 'extremely high' | CNN
The US Embassy in Tanzania, claiming that many hospitals in the main city Dar es Salaam have been overwhelmed in recent weeks, contends the risk of contracting Covid-19 there is "extremely high."
Videos of night burials in cemeteries across Tanzania and corpses wrapped in plastic body bags carried out of homes by men in full personal protective equipment (PPE) suits are shared widely on WhatsApp groups and social media, raising fears about the true extent of the crisis.
"The government is hiding the number of deaths, this is 100 percent proven. How many [they're hiding] is more difficult to say," Zitto Kabwe, the leader of the ACT-Wazalendo opposition party and a member of parliament, told Al Jazeera.
"The health system of the country is completely overwhelmed. The situation is not very good and the government has completely controlled the data so we haven't been able to access independent information on what's really going on."
