It’s been nearly two weeks since Tanzania’s President John Magufuli has made a public appearance. The last public event he attended was the swearing-in ceremony of the newly appointed chief secretary Bashiru Ally on 27 February. Since then, much has happened.
Unconfirmed reports continue to circulate in Tanzania that the President – known for his fierce denial of Covid – was receiving treatment in Kenya at Nairobi Hospital and has now been transferred to a facility in India after suffering cardiac arrest and testing positive for Covid-19.

👉🏻gravely ill

The president is a public servant, and he is accountable to the public. They must tell us if he is on holiday. And if he is sick, they should tell us. All information about the president’s health should be public.
