NAIROBI (Reuters) - Tanzania’s President John Magufuli is healthy and working, the prime minister was quoted as saying by state media on Friday, amid reports he was critically ill with COVID-19 and had been flown abroad for treatment.
“The prime minister asked Tanzanians to be calm because President John Magufuli is safe and he is going about his work,” Tanzania Broadcasting Corporation reported Prime Minister Kassim Majaliwa as saying, urging people to ignore fake news.
