Dar es Salaam/Upcountry. Following reports of a rise in Covid-19 and severe influenza cases in several parts of the country, levels of public alertness and adherence to preventive measures appear low, particularly in major cities.
A survey conducted by The Citizen in Dar es Salaam, Arusha, Mwanza, Moshi, Mbeya and Tanga found that despite large crowds in markets, bus terminals, churches, mosques and entertainment venues, most people were neither wearing face masks nor observing physical distancing.
