Argentina added another 26 deaths and 3,663 cases of coronavirus in the last 24 hours. This was stated this Thursday by the Ministry of Health of the Nation in its usual evening report.

With this new record of daily infections, our country exceeded 90,000 positives, and reached 1,720 fatalities since the start of the pandemic.

For the second day in a row, the province of Buenos Aires was above the thousand infected in one day. This Thursday reported 2,372, while 1,058 belonged to the City of Buenos Aires.

The other positives of the day were distributed between Jujuy (52), Chaco (30), Córdoba (27), Río Negro (23), Entre Ríos (21), Chubut (19), Santa Fe (15), Mendoza (11) , Catamarca (10), Neuquén (10), Salta (9), Santa Cruz (2), La Rioja (1), Santiago del Estero (1), Tierra del Fuego (1) and Tucumán (1).

Only Corrientes, Formosa, La Pampa, Misiones, San Juan and San Luis reported no cases in the last hours.

In the morning, the health portfolio in charge of Ginés García González had confirmed 13 deaths : six men (three residents from the province of Buenos Aires and three from Chaco), and seven women (five from the City of Buenos Aires, one from the Province and another from Chaco), aged 47 and 81 years.

Then 13 other victims joined : ten men (six from the province, three from CABA and one from Salta, between 58 and 82 years old); and two 88-year-old women (one from the Province and the other from the Federal Capital), in addition to a 91-year-old from the City of which the sex was not registered.

Since the arrival of the virus in the country, 38,313 infected have already recovered, while another 47,010 continue to carry the disease.

The main affected age groups of the cases registered to date correspond to people between 20 and 59 years old, the average age being 36.

According to official information, 10,910 new samples were performed on Wednesday and 434,692 diagnostic tests for this disease were carried out since the outbreak began, which is equivalent to 9,579.6 samples per million inhabitants.

For its part, the secretariat of Access to Health of the Ministry of Health, Carla Vizzotti , specified that the peak of the pandemic in Argentina "we will know when the cases are falling, now we are working hard so that the peak is the most low and as far as possible to continue earning days working with the health system and with people. "

In addition, he remarked that if a person only has a mild cold "it is not a symptom" of COVID-19, since to be one "the definition of the case must be constituted, which is the cold accompanied by a fever, or a sore throat , cough, or loss of smell. "

The official clarified in this way the concept that she formulated hours before when she mentioned that due to the low circulation of other viruses such as influenza, "any cold you have this winter" is coronavirus "until proven otherwise."

"We have more than 17,000 samples of respiratory viruses in the country and 95% of them belong to the Sars Cov_2 virus," he said, calling for the population to "not minimize any symptoms in this context in which there is no treatment. not even a vaccine. "

Vizzotti stressed that "what happens to us is that people have mild colds and a small fever and think that they have it every year and they will not be tested."

The official assured that those people who have very mild symptoms "have to make the effort to remain isolated. It is a difficult decision and an uncomfortable situation, many may not have room to do that isolation but they have to avoid contact with people."
