Angola has entered on Tuesday the third day in a row without a positive case of covid-19, with 24 infections.
Of the 24 cases, two died and six recovered, two of whom have been discharged from hospital.
According to the secretary of State for Public Health, Franco Mufinda, who was speaking at the daily covid-19 update briefing, 77 specimens are currently undergoing laboratory processing.
As part of efforts to arrest the proliferation of the deadly new coronavirus in the country, Angola is observing a second round of State of Emergency from 11-25 April this year. This has been justified with the fact that the threat that prompted the original State of Emergency 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.
