Silvia Lutucuta, who was speaking to the press at the end of a meeting of the Multisectoral Commission for the Combat and Prevention of covid-19, held Wednesday, said that the current epidemiological situation is being evaluated because the positivity rate is higher than last week.

She stressed that the health authorities will re-evaluate all the conditions, that of the schools as well and will take the most appropriate measure, emphasizing that "in face of this pandemic scenario, the most important thing is to protect the health of children and families".

The Health portfolio holder informed that depending on the reassessment, the resumption of classes for primary education, scheduled for next Monday, may be delayed to a new date to be defined, once the conditions are met.

Classes were suspended in March this year due to the situation of the covid-19 pandemic in the country, and are being gradually resumed since October 5, the primary education segment being the last, after the I and II cycles and the university system.

Angola has reached the cumulative, in the last 24 hours, of 8338 cases, including 255 deaths, 3040 recovered and 5043 active, of which nine are in critical condition, 20 severe, 115 moderate, 462 mild and 4437 asymptomatic.
