THE FIRST LADY OF ANGOLA HAS AN UNKNOWN VIRUS

THE CASE OF THE FIRST LADY OF ANGOLA

The Angolan first lady, Ana Dias Lourenço, recently traveled to Paris to be treated for a virus. The type of virus is not known.

The information is being advanced by Africa Intelligence, an African Intelligence Site that daily monitors the internal and secret affairs of African countries.

Ana Dias has always done her health routines in the USA, where she also has an apartment, as she has lived there for 4 years, but the U.S. border is closed, so the USA and France agreed to evacuate her to Paris, being accompanied by two doctors, said the Africa Intelligence Site.

The First Lady was last seen publicly on 9 May, 2020.
