Without specifying the origin or quantity, the spokeswoman for the Multi-Sector Commission for Preventing and Combating Pandemic, said that the tests should have been in the country last week, but due to the problems of transports, it will only arrive on the 16th.

“Angola has no testing difficulties. We have done everything not to lack it”, the minister told TV Zimbo, in reaction to some speculation.

Sílvia Lutucuta, spoke in preview of the Speech to the Nation, by the President of the Republic, João Lourenço.

According to the authorities, Angola is able to carry out, on average, six thousand tests, through campaigns or voluntarily, in specific hospitals.
