On 4th May 2021, President Samia Suluhu arrived in Kenya for a two-day state visit. This is the first time a Tanzanian President has visited Kenya since 2016. On arrival, President Samia Suluhu was wearing a face mask, which is a practice she adheres to in foreign countries but not in her home country. She attended a meeting with President Uhuru Kenyatta at the State House in Nairobi. This trip comes at a vital point where both countries seek to resolve issues regarding cross-border trade.

Although President Suluhu has assembled a committee to investigate this matter, no data regarding Covid-19 cases in Tanzania has been released since May 2020.
