Fifty-three truck drivers have turned positive at the border in the last 24 hours, the government has said. Speaking during his daily briefs on Monday, CAS Rashid Aman said 51 of them are from Tanzania and two from Burundi.
"...they were denied entry after testing positive at the border entry points," Aman said.
