A St. John s woman living in the United States says tensions are high, amid the country s record-high numbers of COVID-19 cases.
Robyn Dalton, who lives in Waldorf, Md., said the state has gone through some waves during the pandemic.
As case numbers started to settle over the summer, Gov. Larry Hogan was working on reopening the state. Then September, our cases started to rise again … [and] we ve actually reverted into phases, she said. So it s actually looking a lot like it did back in March.
Officially, despite having a population of close to 60 million, Tanzania has had a total of 509 COVID-19 cases and 21 deaths, without a new case of coronavirus in months.
However, those numbers are deceptive, since the government stopped publishing COVID-19 numbers in the spring, and Tanzania s president has declared that prayer eliminated the coronavirus. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control lists the country as having very high levels of infection.
