Ngokusemthethweni, uMagufuli ubulawe yizinkinga zenhliziyo esibhedlela e-Dar es Salaam.
Kepha bekunokungabazeka okuncane kubo bonke ngaphandle komlomo osemthethweni kahulumeni wokuthi ubulawe yizinkinga ezihlobene ne-Covid-19. Kwasekubikwe kakhulu emasontweni ukuthi ungenwe yilesi sifo.

Wanciphisa izifonyo nokuqhela kwezenhlalo, kwathi ngoNhlolanja uhulumeni wathi azikho izinhlelo zokukhishwa komuthi wokugoma.
Isikhundla sikaMugafuli se-Covid kube yisahluko sakamuva esihlalweni sobuMengameli esinempikiswano enkulu. Uqale ngonyaka wezi-2015 ezenza isitayela somuntu ongahambisani nombhedo futhi olwa nenkohlakalo. Kepha waqala ukuzimela futhi wabangisana, wavumela abezokuphepha ukuthi basebenzise amaqhinga acindezelayo ezweni lonke – ikakhulukazi abaphikisi.
