Let
$\Bbbk$ be a field,
$H$ a Hopf algebra over
$\Bbbk$, and
$R = (_iM_j)_{1 \leq i,j \leq n}$ a generalized matrix algebra. In this work, we establish necessary and sufficient conditions for
$H$ to act partially on
$R$. To achieve this, we introduce the concept of an opposite covariant pair and demonstrate that it satisfies a universal property. In the special case where
$H = \Bbbk G$ is the group algebra of a group
$G$, we recover the conditions given in [7] for the existence of a unital partial action of
$G$ on
$R$.
