So far this season 118 people have required hospitalization (out of 57,210 registered cases), of which 38 have died: 32 percent. Heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure and kidney failure were the most frequent comorbidities.
The provinces with the most deaths are Chaco (12) and Misiones (12), also corresponding to a greater number of cases. “It is difficult to point to a single cause, it is rather-causal," says Marcelo Abril, executive director of the Mundo Sano Foundation.
