Angola reported its first COVID-19 case on 21 March 2020, and has since recorded 105,095 cases and 1,930 deaths due to the virus. To mitigate the pandemic's economic impacts, the government provided cash transfers, food, and health products for some households and capital and credit for businesses. Findings from the latest Afrobarometer survey, in early 2022, show that one-fourth of households lost a primary source of income because of the pandemic, but only about half as many received relief assistance from the government.
