Tanzania President John Pombe Magufuli has said he could allow sports and education activities to resume as early as next week given the declining curve of the coronavirus infections.

Speaking on Sunday, Magufuli says the current graph of the coronavirus is encouraging and this might make him allow normal activities resume as soon as on May 18.
