Covid-denying Tanzanian President John Magufuli 'in Kenyan hospital with Covid'

Tanzania's President John Magufuli is being treated in hospital in Kenya and is in a critical condition, opposition leader Tundu Lissu has told the BBC, citing well-placed sources.

He has had coronavirus and a cardiac arrest, Mr Lissu said.

Mr Magufuli, who has not been seen in public for 11 days, has faced criticism for his handling of Covid-19.

The East African nation has not published its coronavirus cases since May and refuses to buy vaccines.

The 61-year-old president has called for prayers and herbal-infused steam therapy to counter the virus.

I remember an earlier story about the president demonstrating a smoothie to fight covid. The people of Tanzania deserve better than this.
