According to new data from the Ministry of Health of the Nation, on this day there were also 20 deaths, which brings the number of fatalities to 119 thousand 612, since the entry of the pandemic, in March 2020.

The numbers of infections soared in just one week, from nine thousand that were reported last Monday to more than 33 thousand this Tuesday, while the endless lines in the capital and other provinces such as Córdoba to be tested are palpable.

Addressed on the third wave of cases, which is already being felt, President Alberto Fernández today ruled out the adoption of new restrictive measures. We have extended the health emergency, so the prevention measures to be adopted at this time by the Government will be those that have already been issued, those that are already in place, he said.
