While churches and other public events are being suspended over coronavirus fears in other countries, Tanzania President John Magufuli, has revealed that he won’t close religious gathering over the pandemic.
The president made the announcement on Sunday that his government won’t be shutting down mosques or churches due to the pandemic.
According to him, Churches are the only places where healing can be found.
“These Holy places are where God is. My fellow Tanzanians, let us not be afraid of going to praise Him,” he said.
Magufuli went ahead and told a congregation in Tanzania where he had attended a church service that the Covid-19 virus is Satanic and cannot survive while in the “body of Christ”.
“Corona cannot survive in the body of Christ, it will burn. That is exactly why I did not panic while taking the Holy communion,” he added
