The World Health Organisation's director-general, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, has said the organisation 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.

He called on the country to implement “public health measures that we know work in breaking the chains of transmission, and to prepare for vaccination”.
