At least 2,527 people from a total of 40,484 screened had contact with the Sars-Cov-2 virus in Angola (reactive cases), according to National Director for Public Healt.
Speaking at usual covid-19 data update press conference on Thursday, Helga Freitas said 6.2 out of 100 individuals are exposed to Covid-19 in the country.
She said that the samples of the reactive cases are being forwarded to the laboratories to be confirmed or ruled out through the RT-PCR method.
The results from the rapid tests are provisional and should be confirmed or discarded by the RT-PCR molecular biology exam which is the most indicated to diagnosis the Covid-19, according to the health official.
