On Tuesday without naming an African leader but laying all descriptions related to Tanzanian’s behavior on Covid, Daily Nation reported that Nairobi hospital was treating a President.
Magufuli always seen addressing public rallies and church congregations without a mask was last seen in public on February 27. He was flown to Kenya yesterday for treatment.
