The victims are three men and one woman, aged between 56 and 85.

According to Franco Mufinda, another 41 people were considered recovered from the disease.

In total, since the first cases were detected in the country on March 21, Angola registered a total of 13,922 cases of covid-19, including 332 deaths and 6623 recoveries.

Currently, there are 6967 active cases, nine of them in critical condition, 10 in severe condition and 187 in moderate condition.

Angolan laboratories have processed 3,133 samples in the last 24 hours, totaling 201,561 since the beginning of the pandemic.

In updating the data, Franco Mufinda stressed the need not to relax prevention measures.

"We must redouble the prevention measures," said the ruler, adding: "The frequency and permanence of places with many agglomerations can only expose us and increase the risk of infections, so we must avoid.

The secretary of state also made an appeal for compliance with measures such as regular hand washing and the use of protective masks.

The covid-19 pandemic has caused at least 1,339,130 deaths from more than 55.6 million cases of infection worldwide, according to a balance sheet made by the French agency AFP.
