During his recent announcement, President John Magufuli of
Tanzania stated that his government wouldn't close down churches. Instead, the
head of state termed worship centres as places where people could seek healing.
Despite the coronavirus (COVID-19) claiming over 15,000 lives, Magufuli called
upon Tanzanian citizens not to be afraid of praising and seeking God's face in
places of worship.
During a congregational address on Sunday, Magufuli termed
Coronavirus outbreak as satanic, adding that there is no way it could thrive in
'Christ's Body,' referring to the church. "Corona cannot survive in the
body of Christ; it will burn. That is exactly why I did not panic while taking
the Holy Communion," stated President Magufuli.
