Covid-19: Social media has been bombarded with fake news about the end of coronavirus in Angola

Someone lied to these women that covid-19 is over, and that they can now walk around without masks, sell every day and do their business normally.

It seems that these women have not been watching the news on TV, radio and other media sources. Since they leave their homes early to go to work and return at night. 

The problem of misinformation

 

The truth is that the news was mistranslated. Due to the constant deaths caused by police officers, famine and other types of violence, the Angolan government has decided to make some changes in the state of emergency:

1) In the light of the new Presidential Decree on the extension of this period of isolation and social restrictions, the vendors are now authorised to sell, from Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, and no longer only on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.

2) Under the new period of the State of Public Calamity that Angolans are beginning to experience, as of midnight on Wednesday (9 September), drivers are free to wear or not face mask.
