Tanzania reports first COVID data in over a year under new president

70 COVID-19 patients in critical condition requiring mechanical ventilation; previous president's denial likely contributed to untracked deaths and infections.

For more than a year, Tanzania's official silence on COVID-19 was itself a kind of policy — one built on denial and the dangerous comfort of uncounted losses. When President Samia Suluhu Hassan stood before the press in Dar es Salaam to mark her first hundred days in office, she did something her predecessor never would: she named the crisis. In acknowledging seventy critically ill patients and a country caught in the global third wave, she did not merely release statistics — she restored the possibility of truth as a tool of governance.
