Through a document distributed to the press, the government, which particularises football and basketball, guides the sports federations to carry out games behind closed doors and under strong biosecurity measures.

In the same note, he emphasizes that players, referees, coaches, managers, ball catchers, security personnel, journalists and others involved must present a negative test to covid-19, up to two hours before each game.

Covid-19 has caused more than 5.40 million deaths worldwide since the start of the pandemic, according to the latest report by Agence France-Presse.

The respiratory disease is caused by the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, detected at the end of 2019 in Wuhan, a city in central China, and currently with variants identified in several countries.

Angola has more than 73,697 confirmed cases of covid-19, of which 64,026 recovered, 1754 deaths and 7918 active.
