Around 92 per cent of these people have recovered. This is good news.

Luanda — Luanda's Cassenda neighbourhood residents have breathed a sigh of relief on Wednesday, after the authorities decided to lift the sanitary lockdown they were in for lingering 16 days.

Ahead of the lifting of the sanitary lockdown, the authorities tested 160 specimens linked to people suspected of having had direct contact with those infected.

As a result, Futungo de Belas neighbourhood remains under a lockdown, pending the results of 300 residents tests.

In addition to lifting the lockdown, the authorities issued tested residents with covid-19 negative result certificates.

Under sanitary lockdown is also Hoji-Ya-Henda neighbourhood, in Luanda's high density suburb of Cazenga, where 3.335 specimens were collected and a few infections detected, linked to the so-called case 31, a Guinea Conakry national with more than 75 contacts.
