The Ministry of Health of the Nation confirmed this Tuesday 430 deaths from coronavirus, which brings to 29,730 the total
fatalities due to the pandemic
.
In addition, 14,308 new infections were notified.
In this way, there are 1,116,609 confirmed positive cases, which keep the country as
the sixth with the most infections in the world
, behind the United States, India, Brazil, Russia and France.
With more than seven months of restrictive measures to try to fight the coronavirus, the country is going through a new two-week stage, with the focus on the eight provinces that are suffering the most from the increase in infections.
It was announced by President Alberto Fernández last Friday, and it will last until November 8: the toughest measures affect Santa Fe, Chubut, Córdoba, San Luis, Mendoza, Neuquén, Río Negro, and Tucumán, which are the districts that they concentrate 55 percent of infections.
This Monday the new regulations were published in the Official Gazette.
The opposite of the most restrictive measures are the seven provinces authorized to function, in their entirety, in the DISPO mode, more lax than isolation and with more activities allowed.
They are Catamarca, Corrientes, Entre Ríos, Formosa, La Pampa, Misiones and Jujuy.
Meanwhile, the president confided that he hopes to have the vaccine as soon as possible "in order to avoid a second wave" of infections, as many European countries currently suffer.
"The number of cases is going down. We are dropping positions in that sinister position table," said Fernández, who insisted that "a lot of attention was paid to the AMBA and the large conglomerates and the rest of the country thought that they would not touch them" .
And he closed: "Now in all the little towns they are contagious. They are numbers that hurt us all, but when we began to dominate the subject in the AMBA the virus moved with virulence to the interior".
