Quarantine Information:All travelers and U.S. citizens required to quarantine? Yes

The Angolan government has instituted mandatory quarantine for anyone entering the country, regardless of citizenship. Angolan citizens and foreign residents who tested negative prior to boarding their flight to Angola may be permitted to quarantine in their homes. The Angolan authorities will determine when it is safe for an individual to be released from home quarantine. The home quarantine will last for seven days if someone in-home quarantine tests negative for COVID at that time. Home quarantine lasts 14 days with no test required at the end of the two week period.

For those unable or unwilling to quarantine at home, the Government of Angola has set up multiple quarantine sites throughout the country, including two quarantine sites just outside of the capital city of Luanda. Upon arrival in Luanda, travelers unable to quarantine at home may choose between staying at one of several government-approved hotel quarantine locations (at personal expense) or a government-run quarantine center, where standards may not match those of international-standard hotels. Angola COVID-19 RT-PCR testing is available at Luanda Medical Center (LMC)

Asymptomatic COVID patients may be allowed to isolate at home. Anyone with symptoms, anyone considered vulnerable, or anyone who is not able to isolate appropriately in their home will be required to go into a government-run health center.
