Staying during coronavirus

Everyone should comply with the measures put in place in Tanzania to limit the spread of coronavirus (COVID-19).
Moving around in Tanzania
The government has also banned public gatherings, closed schools and universities, and suspended sporting competitions. The majority of hotels, bars and restaurants have closed voluntarily, though many restaurants still offer take away service.
Visas
The Tanzanian Authorities have announced that they will extend the length of visa validity by 1 month free of charge for people who are unable to leave Tanzania due to coronavirus.
Health
Due to a rise in the number of coronavirus cases in Tanzania, medical facilities and personnel are under strain throughout the country. The availability of treatment for non-coronavirus-related illnesses, particularly for non-urgent care, has been adversely impacted.
