Please mute yourself

whats happening now?

nasikia sauti za milango sijui 🤷🏽‍♀️

pls automatically mute all

not clear

Kwakuwa huku Tz hatujaanza kupima hata wasio na dalili zozote, je tutaweza kudhibiti mlipuko

Nadhani tukisisitiza social distancing kwa kadri inavyowezekana itasaidia sana. Yaani wale wenye ulazima wa kutoka nyumbani ndio watoke huku wakijihadhari (kufunika pua nk itasaidia.

Takwimu zinasema nini kuhusu mlipuko unavyoongezeka mpaka kufikia PEAK

Tz wagonjwa waloingia recently wamewekwq quarantine but with no supervision so I was told , isn’t this a high risk ?

yes we can hear

Habari za leo ndugu zangu… nimefanikiwa kujiunga muda huu… kutoka Paris, Ufaransa

chief minja hatukuoni kwenye video

DR Mlawa so after confirming COVID-19 je ni hospitali inahusika na contact tracing?

and so far kwa COVID-19 cases mlizopata what is the number so far ambayo imekuwa traced as far as the contacts are concerned?

Dr. Minja, sijui kuna wakati ambao utaturuhusu kuawuliza maswali madakari wenu ninyi?

Please Colleagues can we stop saying hii ni kama "Mafua ya Kawaida" because Covid-19 is not...

For Tanzania..i like the lesson...simulation..

and covid 19 suspect client flow..

simulation very useful indeed...

Tz tuna regional na district hospitals..simulation a must..tupate na standard video ya simulation..au WHO wanayo ?

can we slso talk more on symptoms and test results. any symptomatic diagnostic

please also share experiences of reinfections and false negatives

Kuna mmoja wa mgonjwa ambaye Ni black America,amekuwa akionekana Sana you tube alitoa ushuhuda kwamba alikuwa na fever na cough for 4 days,then anaenda hospitali akaambiwa kwamba Ni mafua tu yatasubside,until alipofaint nyumbani na kumpelekwa hospitali,alipotest Mara 2 akaonekana negative,Hali ikazidi kudetereorate then Mara ya 3 walipompima ndio wakaconfirm yuko infected na COVID 19,so hapo sensitivity n specificity za hizi tests zipo vipi,na je Kuna chance ya kupata false negatives kwa kiasi gani.n which test is highly recommended as far as specificity n sensitivity is concerned

Muhimu, sio lazima uwe na insurance kama unaishi marekani kuwa screened na daktari ... muhimu kuongea na daktari yoyote anayoishi karibu na wewe akushauri.... Hospitali za serikali zina madaktari wanayo screen na kutoa ushauri bila malipo na

I have known a patient with suspected of covid but at home advised by nhs for self isolation , she has low grade fever , myalgia, headache , dry cough on and off and also painful eyes lik conjunctivitis and I read another patient also high suspect of covid with similar symptoms with conjunctivitis like symptom .

Hongereni sana kwa maelezo mazuri mlioyotoa

Dr. Mlawa Ninaomba kuuliza Zaidi ni nani anahusika na contact tracing?

Hi Celina, Quite certainly.. your rationale request is within ground! Tatizo watu wengi wamekuwa misinformed kuhusu hii virus, thus the main reason why majority of us have joined this platform. Going forward... Following in details of what’s being discussed here, the previous speaker ameongelea special team arrangements of 4 katika hospital (Doctors, Nurses, Special Assistant pamoja na Runners)... This begs the question of the numbers of such experts available in Our healthy system in Tanzania, just incase the situation escalates?

Dr. Hamza good to learn kuwa unaendelea vizuri. Thanks for sharing

Tanzania bado wanaruhusu watu kwenda misikitini na makanisani. Kama shule n avyuo vimefungwa. Je nyie kama mabingwa wa afya mnawasemaje kuhusu swala hilo?

Swali la airborne/aerosol halikujibiwa wiki iliyopita. Kwa hiyo ni kweli inakaa hewani kwa massa kadhaa, hivyo, mtu unaweza kuvuta tu hewa ukaipata? Kama ndiyo, ina maana inabidi tuvae barakoa/mask?

Dr Hamza atueleze zaidi remedy alivyo tumia. Ni vizuri atupe zaidi alitumia painkilers kivipi etc . Please tunahitaji Dr Hamza arudi kuelezea perspective ya mgonjwa. Asante

as

Hi Dr Hamza, pole and it’s good to know you are well. How well are we prepared in Tanzania?

dr hamza which painkiller exactly did you use we did like to know , thanks .

@Dr. Hamza, pole sana.1) Would you kindly share maintenance medicines that you used for comfort and healing?2) Once one recovers from COVID, what are the chances of getting the disease again?

Dr. Hamza alikuwa anaeleza jambo la msingi kuhusu jambo lililomsaidia

Dr. Hamza, pole sana

Pole sana Dr Hamza

Pole sana Dr Hamza kwa kuumwa Naomba tafhadali tumeudishe

can we have dr Hamza complete how he treated himself please

tumrudishe

Pole sana Daktari Hamza

Pole Dr. Hamza.Tunaomba umpe nafasi Dr. Hamza amalizie kwenye remedy.

Pole Sana Dr. Hamza

pole sana Daktari

Thank you Dr Hamza for sharing, pole sana! hope utapata nafasi kumalizia kuhusu remedies etc

Ningependa kujua hatua za kitafiti kuhusu maendeleo ya upatikanaji wa chanjo na tiba. Vipi kuhusu dhana ya matumizi ya choraquine kama ilivyotajwa na Rais Trump wa Marekani

we need a session just on Dr Hamza alone

Naomba umrudishe Dr Hamza amalizie remedy aliyotumia

Hivi kwa nini Task Force iliyoundwa na serikali isiwe na Jopo na Wataalamu, alafu kiongozi mkuu wa kutoa taarifa awe Dr aliyebobea sio Waziri. Dr anaeleweka zaidi kuliko waziri. Hilo mnashauriana vipi

mmmmh. jamani msituate hugo amepotosha watu mpaka wamekufa.

corr. msimfiate huyo amewapotosha...

Maambukizi Je ni airborne pia?

swali kwa Dk Mlawa. Je, Kuna utafiti wowote unaoendelea kwenye hospitali yako kuhusu dawa zinazoweza kuleta ahueni na kuponya COVID-19. mfano, ni Nini mnakifanya kutibu lymphopenia.

Huyo nani @Cecilia?

@ Prof Minja what is the current situation in Tanzania. In view of quarantee all positive patients?

ahsanteni sana.niteleza tiba nilizotumia.pamoja kuwa covid 19 haina dawa

pole sana Dr Hamsa

nice to you smiling

nafikiri kwa preventative measures na hata handling ya wagonjwa au suspected wagonjwa, kwa Tanzania tuna fursa ya kuwa na guidelines ambazo ni hybrid ya kutoka kwa nchi na organization nyingine ili kuwe na uniformity kuanzia zahanati, Kituo cha afya, mpaka hospitali kuu.

Poles sana Dr. Hamza, ni muhimu utueleze namna ulivofanikiwa kutumia tiba mbadala

Breaking News in Uk : 260 deaths in past 24hrs

Je kuna ambaye amepona na akapata infections tena?? na Je kwa walio pona kuna ambaye imererapse tena??

UK deaths now over 1,000

is it true that with covid 19 you can get re-infected ?

will you send us REC of this discussion?

@Oscar Kapera, Kwa huku China kuna case 1 ilitokea kwa mgonjwa mmoja laiyekuwa na hiyo COVID-19, alipona alafu tena akawa ameupata tena. Lkn alikuja kupona tena

yes the recording will be sent

Naomba kujua kwanini watalam wa wetu wa Afya wanaathirika pia? Je hawafuati IPC vizri au tatizo ni nn??

Nitashukuru kupata rekoding ya mjadala huu kwani sisikii chochote labda setting zangu..

virus vinawezakuonekana kwenye mwil baada ya muda gani?? au lazima dalili zianzekuonekana

sijaelewa how comes kwamba mtaalam anaenda kutibu bila kuwa na PPE??

nataka kujua... barakoa ya aina gani inaweza kuzuia virusi vya corona

Just FYI, Recording huwa inatumwa baadae kwenye social media. So mnashauriwa ku connect na Dr. Frank Minja kwenye Twitter

je barakoa za kitenge zinafaa kwa kujikinga?

suala la kuvaa mask ni lazima tutoe na kuelewa umuhim na kwanini mask zinavaliwa na kwa wakati gani tutatatua changamoto wa mask

kwa Tanzania wanapima vipi...UK kupimwa ni mpaka uwe unaumwa sana na wameshasema hawatapima wote...

Kwa kuwa kuna mfumuko wa wagonjwa wengi sana, eg New York. Kwa kila mgonjwa unahitaji one PPE full for one encounter for each pt. sasa basi Kama kuna wagonjwa wengi sana ,ni ngumu. New York nurses wanavaa garbage bags

kuna anaefahamu COVID 19 confirmed cases wanatibiwa wapi has hapa Tanzania?

Yes. Huku USA ukienda Etsy website KAAGIZIE KWA AJILI YA FAMILIA YAKO ~Mkienda sokoni etc. Mkifika tu nyumbani weka ndani ya mfuko kazifue na Bleach na sabuni. Possibly make sure seller is not from a heavily infected country or area (Follow the news)

as the numbers are increasing in our hospital, as of yesterday, healthcare workers are expected to wear masks.

Tungependa kujua statistically, medical personnels wangapi mpaka sasa wako infected na covid19 kwa nchi wanayojua hiyo data.

Swala la Barakoa ni nyeti mana hata sasa kunaonekana kuwa ziko chache especially N95.

for countries like Tanzania that have substantially higher HIV (immune compromised sickness). does our curve look the same as the west?

kwa maelezo ya dkt kuhusu matibabu nahis n kutumiankila ulichonacho kutibu make vyote alivyosema n hakuna specific

Hawkins enough data to show Kama watu wenye VVU wake katika higher risk of kupata corona

next Tuesday, scientific symposium on COVID-19.

hakuna, wako

Wapi Prof Makani? Link???

Dawa gan mpaka saa hizi imeonesha mafanikio kwa zile zizopo kwenye trial??

Nadhani alikuwa alijaribu kutibia kila symptom aliyopata...akipata mafua anatibu,kikohozi anatibu,homa anatibu,na maumivu hivyo pia...na amejaribu kutibu vitu hivyo vyote kwa both dawa za kienyeji na za kisayansi

link will be shared

Asante Prof.

Thank tou Dr. Hamza, would you kindly share the medication intervals as you took a lot of them. Asante

Dr Hamza ukipona na mkeo pia, mna mpango wa kusanitize nyumba yenu? if yes kwa njia gani?

Frank will share. karibuni sana. Tuesday, 31 March 2020. 3pm Tanzania time

Asante Prof. Ziko helpful sana for regular updates.Everything is new when it comes to Covid19

Kuna madaktari hapa kutoka China watupe uzoefu wao kuhusu strategies zilizotumika China?

Tunashukuru Sana kwa kutupa his fursa ya kusikiliza ndugu zetu waliopo kwenye frontline ya kutibu Corona

kirusi kinakaa hewan au kwenye surface kwa muda gani ili kujua basics za kudesinfect mitaa na nyumba

yes please

tunaomba Link Profesor Makani

Nashauri if possible huko nyumbani MEWATA na MAT waanze vipindi ktk radio na TZ kutoa elimu na taarifa sahihi kuhusu COVID- 19 . itasaidia umma

Dr Mlawa.tunaomba kujua wagonjwa walio mahututi mnawapatia matibabu gani??

Thanks for this, brilliant idea!

couldn’t agree more Deborah

taarifa sahihi zinatolewa na vipindi kwenye media binaratibiwa na WIZARA YA AFYA KUPITIA KITENGO CHA ELIMU YA AFYA KWA UMMA

answer: Placing patients on Prone can help patients in severe respiratory distress: The use of Rotor Beds.

dr Mlawa. angeshare management protocol ya hospitali yao. hiyo hiyo supportive mgt

Swali: Je, ventilators Mpya zinazotengenezwa (newly designed and developed) ambazo zimethibitika kiuhandisi kuwa zinaweza kufanya kazi zinaweza kuruhusiwa kutumika moja kwa moja kwa majaribio au utaratibu upoje ili ziweze kutumika kwa matibabu ya wagonjwa; kwa kuzingatia kwamba ndiyo vifaa vya muhimu sana kwa Wagonjwa mahutiti wanaohitaji msaada huo?

Kama wewe si mgonjwa wanashauri kutovaa Barakoa km huhitajiki kuivaa especially mtaani. kwa kuwa unaweze utajigusa machoni km mikono ikigusa macho anyways...

Felicia plz naomba unitumie hiyo Link kupitia +255765263443

moderator can you share link ya databases uliyo display?

IS THERE ANY PHYSICIAN IN TANZANIA WHO CAN SPEAK TO EFFORTS BEING DONE IN HEALTHCARE FACILITIES TO PROTECT OTHER PATIENTS OR HEALTHCARE WORKER??

Asanteni sana kwa kushare experience. is possible kwa patient wa corona ambae hajaonesha symptoms kuambukiza wengine?

sharing for healthcare profession resources I personally use; https://www.covidprotocols.org/

tumedisinfect nyumba yetu baada ya sisi kupona..

Pole sana Dr Hamza! Thanks for sharing. I am now 99.9% certain i had COVID back in January after traveling from DC to Bukoba via ADDIS to Entebbe. About Day 6 in Bukoba i had a soar throat, cold and a temperature. I cut my trip shot and came back to the US through South Africa. From DAR to New York only had water with Lemon which prompted Flight attendants to question if i was fine. I couldn't taste or smell. Day 8 i was back in the US. Day 10 I took Uber to the ER at Duke Hospital. I was treated for dehydration and Bronchitis. I was prescribed CIPROFLOXACIN and flonase. While waiting in the ER i given "Tylenol" and "something for pain. I am allergic to Ibuprofen.At about the same time my Mom was rushed to the hospital in Bukoba with similar symptoms with breathing problems. She was given antibiotics and breathing treatment.

please sana agnetta

inaonekana kuwa mlipuko wa ugonjwa huu umeleta hofu na unasisitiza watu kuepuka msongamano...hii imepelekea uhaba wa uoatikanaji wa damu katika nchi kadhaa imewahi ripotiwa mfano Marekani. vipi hii Hali inakabiliwa vipi?

Agneta what was the prognosis ya mama huko BK

je!kufuta simu na laptop with sanitizer inasaidia?what about Methylated spirit?

Agnetta, pole. vipi mama na contacts wake huku Tanzania waliendeleaje?

pole sana Agnetta

Agnetta pole. how are you doing now?

so there is more cases in Tz but undetected

mlioko Tanzania ktk community, mnafikiri tuna more than 13 cases labda only that watu hawajapimwa wanaugulia majumbani?

Je PPE inatakiwa kuvaliwa kwa muda wa masaa mangapi?? Je unawezakuitumia kwa wagonjwa tofauti?

Ahsante wote. please note thatI spent the 5 days with my Mom who is bedridden. Here in the US i live alone. Essentially i was "quarantined". I was out of work for weeks for the first time.

na mask iantakiwa kuvaliwa kwa masaa mangapi??

pole sana @Agnetta. Hopefully Mama is well and sound as we are chatting now... Did she use local herbs to help her as well? Does your Mom live in the village? Is she still working?

Je? Kama unaishi na mgonjwa wa corona au uko front line ktk sector ya afya, nguo zako zinatakiwa kufuliwa kivipi? Nguo nazo Zinaweza kubeba virusi?

Appreciate you all panelists for all you do.. mmetupata global overview nzuri ya health systems and how you are dealing with the current challenge

Dr agnetta tunaomba video plzzzzzz

are the symptoms worse than malaria?

case ya Agnetta ndio imenifanya niwaze na kuuliza Hilo swali hapo juu. I heard in January there was a lot of flu like illness in Dar, could it have been COVID-19... thinking aloud

Back in Dec I had same symptoms as what is being explained on COVID 19 ....Inaweza kuwa ndo hii ya sasa...niliumwa wiki nzima and it was serious.... mafua joto kali homa I mean up to 39°C.

Well around January there was a spike in Influenza cases in Tz as a whole, that is from the National Influenza Surveillance

Lakini kwasasa ningependa kujua tukirudi nyumbani kutoka kazini inakuwaje umeshaoga vipo kuhusu nguo zile

I think there is a possibility

maana kama ukioga na kunawa na kupaka sanitize....but nawaza nguo....na vitu ambavyo umebeba kama pochi.... mifuko?! Inakuwaje?!

So, I believe it wasn't Covid-19, otherwise the cases would have been more serious.but you can't rule it out for sure

I had same symptoms here in Dar in Dec 2019

my husband had similar symptoms like Agnetta amd was not tested for COVID

so seems many have been experiencing symptoms but not confirmed ...right?

Nguo unazovaa nje ~ fua. Pochi chagua utakayoweza futa kwa mchanganyiko wa bleach

in dec those symptoms prevailed here in Dar

Asanteni for your responses. Stay safe y’all

hongera sana kwa watanzania wanajutahidi sana kila sehemu kuna ndoo za maji na sabuni

It was CoVID-19 alright @Makune. Remember 80%+ survive it. And because Agnetta has been taking vitamins regularly her immune system was good. I suspect that her mother survived as well because of organic food and herbal remedies she used....

Wizard kitengo cha elimu iwashirikishe MEWATA ktk vipindi vyao maana MEWATA inaaminika na kusikilizwa na jamii considering their previous health advocacy

hadi vituo vya bodaboda na maduka madogo...masokoni....aisee watanzania wamejitahidi sanaaa
