President John Magufuli of Tanzania has declared the country COVID-19 free, attributing the development to prayers and fasting from the citizens.
Speaking during a church service in Dodoma, the country’s capital, Magufuli said God has answered the prayers of the citizens and eliminated the disease in the country.
The president lauded the clerics and worshippers for not using gloves and masks for protection from the disease.
“I want to thank Tanzanians of all faiths. We have been praying and fasting for God to save us from the pandemic that has afflicted our country and the world. But God has answered us,” Magufuli said.
“I believe and I’m certain that many Tanzanians believe, that the corona disease has been eliminated by God.”
The Tanzanian government stopped publishing figures of COVID-19 infections in the country since April.
The last known figure of confirmed cases was 509 with 21 deaths.
This has fuelled suspicion over possible cover-up by the government on the COVID-19 cases in the country.
In May, Magufuli expressed worries over the testing kits imported into the country after samples conducted on them using both goat and pawpaw “tested positive” for COVID-19.
It is only God that can miraculously make Covid to disappear by humans engaging in fasting and prayers.. But how do we ascertain the varsity and truthfulness of this assertions. When Jesus heals the evidential proof is always acknowledged by His opponents who are always marveled at it. So, can we have independent investigators from Tanzania confirming this wonder.
