On August 26, a compatriot in Tanzania who was infected with the novel coronavirus pneumonia died in the Aga Khan Hospital in Dar City due to multiple organ failure caused by severe hypoxia。Before being transferred to Aga Khan Hospital, the compatriot was treated in a small clinic that did not have the means of real-time oxygen monitoring, emergency oxygen supply, intensive care and other treatment。
In view of the fact that there is no sign of improvement in the third wave of the epidemic in Tanzania and the number of Chinese citizens infected with the epidemic is still increasing, the Embassy once again reminds compatriots in Tanzania: First, keep vigilant at all times。The third wave of the epidemic in Tanzania has lasted for two months, and the official data of the epidemic has not been updated, and the situation is still complicated and grave。当前，Vaccination can reduce the risk of infection to a certain extent, but no vaccine can completely block the virus infection. Some Chinese citizens in Tanzania have received the first dose of COVID-19 vaccine, but have not yet completed the two doses of COVID-19 vaccine, so they should be more vigilant。As the battle against the epidemic is a protracted one, it is necessary to insist on "non-essential, non-urgent and no travel", do not participate in or organize group activities, and do not go to public places to minimize the risk of infection。Second, strengthen personal protection。The public epidemic prevention measures in Tanzania are relatively weak, and most residents do not pay high attention to the epidemic and have low awareness of prevention. It is necessary for Chinese compatriots in Tanzania to strengthen personal protection。Please take personal protective measures such as wearing a mask, frequent disinfection, opening Windows for ventilation, and maintaining social distancing. If necessary, wear N95 masks, protective masks, and goggles。Pay attention to strengthen exercise, enhance immunity, maintain a good attitude。Third, scientific and reasonable medical treatment。If your compatriots in Tanzania have fever, chest tightness, dry cough, dyspnea and other suspected symptoms of COVID-19, please do not be paralyzed, take precautions in isolation, prevent cross-infection, and seek medical attention in time。Please go to a regular, fully qualified general hospital for medical treatment, if confirmed, please inform your family and friends who have been in close contact recently, and cut off the chain of transmission and spread。It is understood that there are still some spare beds in Kailuki Hospital, if you need hospital treatment, you can call 0762328888 for consultation。If necessary, you can contact the embassy for support and assistance (mobile: 0754075128)。
