Tanzania on Tuesday recorded its first death from coronavirus.
According to the Health Ministry, he was a 49-year-old man who had underlying health issues.
“I regret to announce the first death of coronavirus patient early this morning. The 49-year old man had other health complications,” Health Minister Ummy Mwalimu said in a statement.
In a bid to curb the disease, Tanzania has already shut all schools and universities and from Tuesday parliament cut working hours and limited the number of MPs allowed in the debating chamber.
However, while neighbouring countries have imposed lockdowns and urged people to stay home, President John Magufuli has played down the seriousness of the disease.
