COVID-19 pandemic has spread rapidly like world fire causing panic among communities across the globe.

Tanzania have experienced a rapid increase in cases in a span a one week totaling to 285 cases with 10 deaths confirmed.

Many people have blamed the increase of cases to ignorance by the Tanzanian President who still encourages gatherings and does not encourage citizens to conform to the rules set aside to curb COVID-19 pandemic.

Tanzania are yet to take drastic measures even after the rapid increase of cases has been witnessed and their complacency has created complains among East Africa counterparts.

The Tanzanian President Pombe Magufuli has instructed the ministry of health to allow traditional healers to also work in the fight against COVID-19.

Netizens have called out President Magufuli for not taking the virus with the seriousness it deserves.

These are some of the social media reactions to the instructions of President Magufuli :

Bosspercy: His decisions will cost him the next election. He proved the opposite of what people thought of him.

JP: This guy is trying to solve issues of COVID-19 the maji maji rebellion way, Which can’t work

Melanin: This is a joke, COVID-19 made him loose his mind, Magufuli is still in stone age. He honestly didn’t learn a thing from the Maji Maji tragedy.

Nkalubo Marvin: At first he said that Jesus is in charge but after things turning worse he calls upon traditionalists, two can’t work at the same time

The Violent One: Actually if he still goes the wrong way he’s going at the end a lot of people are going to die and the mighty Tanzania.
