In the last 24 hours 100 people were also recovered.

In total, since the first cases were detected in the country on 21 March, Angola registered a total of 15,925 cases of covid-19, including 362 deaths and 8679 recoveries.

Currently, there are 6884 active cases, seven of which are in critical condition and seven in serious condition.

During this Thursday's review, the Minister of State and Head of the Civil House of the President of the Republic, Adão de Almeida, also updated the public calamity situation until January 10, with new rules adapted for the festive season.

"We can't celebrate as usual and we can't lower our guard," warned the Minister of Health, calling for intensification of individual and collective protection measures.

"Despite the slowdown, we must not lose focus," said Silvia Lutucuta, pointing out the increase in cases in the provinces.

The covid-19 pandemic has caused at least 1,570,398 deaths resulting from more than 68.8 million cases of infection worldwide, according to a balance sheet made by the French agency AFP.

The disease is transmitted by a new coronavirus detected at the end of December 2019 in Wuhan, a city in central China.
