UNITA ENCOURAGES FIGHT AGAINST COVID-19

Luanda – The main opposition UNITA party parliamentary group Wednesday encouraged health professionals to remain committed to fight against Covid-19 and other diseases.

In a press release, the party said it was following with “great concern” the latest data on the epidemiological situation in Angola, which has seen a substantial increase in cases.

The party said that the register of more than 100 deaths in the last eight days, due to Covid-19, should draw the attention of all to the need to redouble efforts to prevent and combat the pandemic.

Despite this increase in the incidence of Covid-19, the Parliamentary Group believes that possible restrictive measures, capable of compromising the economy on a large scale, should be considered.

It calls for strict compliance with biosecurity measures, such as the correct use of face mask, physical distancing and frequent hand hygiene.

Due to this situation, the main opposition party considers it crucial to intensify the information, education and institutional communication campaign on Covid-19.
