COVID-19: Angola reports no case in 24 hours

The official who was speaking at the daily covid-19 update briefing, said the death toll remains two and six recovered patients, including two who have been discharged from hospital.

As part of efforts to curb the spread of the deadly new coronavirus in the country, Angola is observing a second round of State of Emergency since 11 April. This has been justified with the fact that the threat that prompted the original State of Emergency still remains unabated.

Under the lockdown, people are banned from circulating in streets, including sale of non-essential goods.

In this regard, only people duly authorised by their companies to perform specified duties are allowed to circulate.

People in general are only allowed out of their homes for basic needs like purchasing of foodstuffs, medicines, water, cooking gas and medical aid.

A schedule has also been put in place for markets to operate on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.
