" We will form a committee of experts to tell us how the situation is and what the world is advising us to do. We cannot isolate ourselves like an island and we cannot receive what is being brought to us without analyzing it and doing our research,” Suluhu said.
Tanzania which has not received any vaccines so far, issued the last information concerning the virus in May 2020.
The president who recently visited the country noted that Tanzania will work closely with Kenya to enhance the fight against COVID-19.
