This week Argentina
exceeded 2.2 million infections
and remains among the 15 countries with the highest number of accumulated cases since the start of the pandemic.
If the incidence per million inhabitants is taken, the situation is different: the country is below position 40 in the global ranking published by the Worldometer site.
This Tuesday the Buenos Aires Minister of Health, Daniel Gollán, set off alarms due to the advance of new strains of coronavirus in the region, specifically in Brazil, and asked to
strengthen controls at airports
.
"We are going to place one more control on those who enter, together with the Nation and the City, but not outside the airport, because many people are leaving.
We
are going
to propose that it be before Immigration,
" said the minister.
The Buenos Aires Chief of Cabinet, Carlos Bianco, in turn warned about the rise in infections in CABA: "
We are concerned about the increase in cases in the Autonomous City
. Experience shows us that this has an impact on the districts of the first cordon, then in the second cordon and then towards the rest of the Province ".
Both asked for
extreme care in the population
, with the use of masks and social distancing.
In the city, meanwhile, the head of government, Horacio Rodríguez Larreta, expressed his concern "at not having a clear forecast for the days or weeks that follow" on the provision of vaccines.
