In the last two days, the laboratory diagnostic center in Viana has given priority to processing samples outside Luanda, which justifies the high numbers recorded in these provinces, explained Franco Mufinda.
There were three more deaths related to the disease, three men, 29, 61 and 66 years old, all from Luanda, and 252 people recovered.
