WHO's Tedros Says He Still Has No Details From Tanzania on Its COVID-19 Response
@COVID19Up: The WHO’s director-general, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, said on Sunday the organization has yet to receive any information from Tanzania on what measures it is taking to respond to the coronavirus pandemic.
“This situation remains very concerning. I renew my call for Tanzania to start reporting COVID-19 cases and share data,” Tedros said in a statement on WHO’s website.
Tedros said that in late January he had joined Matshidiso Moeti, WHO’s Africa head, in urging Tanzania to scale public health measures against COVID-19 and prepare to distribute vaccines. “I also encouraged the sharing of data in light of reports of COVID-19 cases among travellers,” he said.
The government stopped reporting data on new coronavirus infections and deaths in May last year when it had registered 509 cases and 21 fatalities. SOURCE | TIP
