Tanzania coronavirus kits raise suspicion after goat and pawpaw test positive

 

'There is something happening. I said before we should not accept that every aid is meant to be good for this nation,' says president

Covid-19 test kits in Tanzania have raised suspicion after samples taken from a goat and a pawpaw fruit came back with positive results, as the president said there were “technical errors”.

 

President John Magufuli said during an event in the north west of Tanzania that the test kits were imported from overseas, but did not say where.

 

He said that in order to evaluate the quality of the kits, Tanzanian security forces randomly obtained non-human samples, including from a pawpaw, a goat and a sheep. The random samples were assigned human names and ages, and sent to a laboratory to test for coronavirus.

 

Lab technicians were deliberately not informed about the origins of the samples. The pawpaw and goat samples tested positive for Covid-19, said Mr Magufuli.

 

The president said the faulty kits meant some people were testing positive for coronavirus without actually being infected, reported Reuters.

He said: “There is something happening. I said before we should not accept that every aid is meant to be good for this nation.”

 

The Tanzanian government has come under scrutiny for its secretive approach to the pandemic. Earlier this week, footage of burials taking place at night under tight security circulated on social media, with activists accusing the government of covering up the real impact of the virus in the country.

Opposition leader Zitto Kabwe was quoted by the BBC as saying: “I don’t want to feel like the government is hiding something. I want it to perform its role. Right now, we are witnessing a lot of mourning, burials and dead bodies everywhere.

 

“Without transparency, the citizens will be more scared, which may cause even more deaths.”
