While awaiting the publication of the Decree of Necessity and Urgency in which the restriction of night circulation throughout the country will be announced, the Ministry of Health of the Nation confirmed this Thursday another 146 deaths and 13,835 new cases of coronavirus throughout the territory national.
In this way, Argentina already has 44,122 fatalities and 1,690,006 infections since the beginning of the pandemic.

, confirmed that the DNU "is being finalized and will be published tomorrow in the Official Gazette," and that at that time the restrictions will begin to apply.
On Wednesday, the President and the governors had agreed on the need to limit circulation, a measure that is already being applied in some provinces.
Although the strongest images these days are what happens in tourist centers, mainly on the beaches of Buenos Aires, the National Executive suggests that the same is reproduced in several cities and towns throughout the country.
