According to the minister of Health, Sílvia Lutucuta, in the next few days asymptomatic people, vaccinated people who tested positive, among others, will be tested.
The official, cited by Angop, underlined that the strategy aims to reduce the transmission chain of the disease.
The minister pointed out that there are many infected families, due to non-compliance with preventive measures during the Christmas party.
For the campaign, test posts were set up in Largo das Escolas, Largo da Mutamba and Hospital Josina Machel, with a view to evaluating the community circulation of the new Ómicron variant in Luanda.
Ten thousand tests are available for two days, with a view to getting a sample on the behavior of the disease.
On Tuesday, the teams will focus on the Cantinton and kilometer 30 markets.
