Of the 195 new cases, 157 were reported in Luanda, 24 in Benguela, 13 in Cabinda and one in Huambo, aged between 1 and 75, 110 male and 85 female.

Forty-three people in Luanda were considered recovered.

Angola has a total of 10,269 cases, of which 275 died, 3736 were recovered, and 6258 were active.

A total of 152,801 samples were tested in the last 24 hours, according to the head of health, estimating the daily positivity rate at 10.3 percent and cumulative at 6.7 percent.

Franco Mufinda announced that the Viana diagnostic center in Luanda will be open during the Day of the Dead holiday (Monday), an issue that was worrying travelers with flights scheduled for next week.

The secretary of state stressed that the country reached 10,000 cases of infection on Wednesday three months behind expectations.

In March, Franco Mufinda presented a forecast pointing to a total of 10 thousand cases by June.

On the other hand, the relaxation of some measures to prevent and combat covid-19 since October 9, resulted in a "sad picture" that raised the cases to over 42 percent in three weeks, criticized Mufinda, saying that the health system is "resenting" and warning that if behaviors do not change there will be more patients and more deaths.

The covid-19 pandemic has caused more than 1.1 million deaths worldwide since December last year, including 2428 in Portugal, and more than 44.5 million cases of infection worldwide, according to a review by the French agency AFP.

In Africa, there are 42,152 confirmed deaths in more than 1.7 million infected in 55 countries, according to the most recent pandemic statistics on the continent.

Angola registers 275 deaths and 10,269 cases, followed by Cape Verde (94 deaths and 8548 cases), Mozambique (91 deaths and 12,525 cases), Equatorial Guinea (83 deaths and 5083 cases), Guinea-Bissau (41 deaths and 2413 cases) and São Tomé and Príncipe (16 deaths and 944 cases).

The disease is transmitted by a new coronavirus detected in late December 2019 in Wuhan, a city in central China.
