The Ministry of Health of the Nation reported this Friday another 138 deaths from coronavirus and reported 6,609 new infections in the last 24 hours.
The fatality rate is 2.65% of confirmed positives and mortality rose to 684 deaths per million inhabitants,
very close to the United Kingdom (685).
The data are known at the same time that a survey revealed that Argentines
decreased their fear of catching the disease.
This was revealed in the final report of the Index of Propensity to Risk in Health (IPRIS) of the Bunge y Born Foundation, which carried out a survey of opinion in four stages on the determinants and motivations that condition decisions of isolation as a means of prevention of contagion .
With the passage of time the perception of the possibility of becoming infected mutated.
The same study in June showed that -without distinctions between social sectors-, 80% believed it was risky to leave the home, accepted isolation and adopted preventive care.
On the other hand, in the last stage of the report it was seen that the need to leave the house to work, exercise or take a walk, visit family, friends or partner
brings with it a decrease in the belief that it is possible to be infected.
Meanwhile, the hope that some of the vaccines that are in production will arrive increases.
According to what emerged in the last hours, a delegation headed by the Secretary for Access to Health, Carla Vizzotti, traveled to Moscow to negotiate the purchase of the second version of the Sputnik V vaccine, developed by the government of Vladimir Putin.
Clarín learned from very high sources that Russia will make a sale to Argentina through the HLB Pharma Group laboratory.
The agreement is expected to be ready by December and will reach 6 to 10 million doses.
Both the Nation and the Province estimate that these vaccines would first be aimed at health professionals and the population at risk.
Sputnik V was the first vaccine to be registered in the world, in August, when Vladimir Putin announced that he had won the world race for the dose, and that he had even tested on his own daughter.
