The governor justified the decision with the fact that the measures adopted to prevent and control the disease have proven to be effective.
According to Francisco Pereira Furtado, who was speaking on the sidelines of the meeting of the Council of Ministers, the body says it is important to follow the return, gradually, of economic activities as well as the return of mobility of people and goods throughout the country.
Cited by Angop, the governor lamented the low adhesion to the vaccination and used the occasion to announce the drawing of a car for a citizen who has been vaccinated with the two doses of the vaccine against the covid-19.
The winner, according to Angop, will be announced on December 31st of this year.
The minister also appealed to the citizens to continue to be aware and to comply with the biosecurity measures: "This measure of withdrawal of the sanitary fence leads in fact to the citizens to be more and more aware that the virus propagation will continue to be a fact and the only way to avoid that is in fact to continue to observe the sanitary rules of biosecurity".
Francisco Furtado pointed out that studies carried out in recent times have revealed that one of the factors in the origin of the spread of the virus is the events that have been carried out at the family level, in homes, at parties that continue to be held, and for not observing the rules established in the Presidential Decree.
"We take this opportunity to say with this that the new Presidential Decree on the state of Public Calamity replacing the current Decree 189/21 will come into force at zero hours on September 1, so tomorrow [Wednesday]," he indicated.
The government also decided to suspend home quarantine for passengers coming from outside the country who have complete vaccination and test negative to covid-19 upon landing on arrival.
The province of Luanda has remained in a sanitary fence since March 27, 2020, and people are required to test for the disease to enter and leave the capital.
