Tanzania’s president is blaming the sharp rise of coronavirus cases on faulty testing kits

Posted by in category: biotech/medical

“Magufuli, who holds a doctorate in chemistry, said the testers had randomly obtained several non-human samples on animals and fruits which included a sheep, a goat and a pawpaw and the results came out positive. The samples were given human names and ages and were submitted to the country’s National Referral Laboratory to test for coronavirus without the lab technicians knowing the true identity of the samples.”


Tanzania president John Magufuli is under mounting pressure from concerns around coronavirus.
