While waiting for the definition of the new health measures that will govern from Saturday, when Alberto Fernandez's last DNU expires, this Tuesday the Government confirmed

25,495 new cases

 and 516 deaths of coronavirus in Argentina.

It arises from the daily part published this afternoon by the Ministry of Health, based on the data reported by the provinces in the last 24 hours.

Between Monday the 19th and Sunday the 25th, the country had reached an average of 

23,824 daily cases

.

Not only is it the highest weekly average of the entire pandemic, but it marks an

important jump

from the numbers of the first wave, since in all of 2020 no day had reached 18,500 positives.

In the middle of the second wave, Argentina is close to 3 million confirmed cases.

Between Thursday and Friday, two consecutive records of deaths had been registered:

537 and 557

, respectively.

Thus, the 515 reported in October 2020, the peak during the first outbreak of the pandemic, were exceeded.

With more than 2.8 million infected and after exceeding 62 thousand deaths, Argentina remains among the

15 most affected countries

since the beginning of the global health crisis, based on accumulated figures.

After the experts asked to wait until Thursday to see how the pandemic progresses and define the measures to be taken, this Tuesday there was a meeting between the Nation, City and Province.

The national chief of Cabinet, Santiago Cafiero, with his Buenos Aires and Buenos Aires counterparts, Felipe Miguel and Carlos Bianco, analyzed the data on the progress of this second wave of covid-19 and agreed to strengthen controls in the AMBA.

In the Province, as reported by the Minister of Health, Daniel Gollán, in the last week the cases in the Conurbano fell -including school closings-,

although they rose in the interior

: "We see that in the AMBA it decreased 135 cases and in the Interior it went up. The AMBA begins first, but then the cases begin to spill out like an oil stain, "he said.

His Buenos Aires counterpart, Fernán Quirós, said in the morning that "there are some preliminary data that show

a decrease in infections

", although he clarified that it is necessary to wait for this to be consolidated with the analyzes of the next few days.

"We have been stabilizing cases for several days,

but we need them to begin to decline,

" said the official during a press conference.

This Tuesday a new Aerolineas Argentinas flight departed that will bring another million doses of Sinopharm.

In the last hours it was known that the Government resumed negotiations with Pfizer for the purchase of vaccines.

In fact, Health Minister Carla Vizzotti met with laboratory authorities on Monday, April 12 and asked for details to advance the operation.

Meanwhile, at noon a new Aerolineas Argentinas flight left for China.

As announced by the Government, it will bring

one million Sinopharm vaccines

.

Meanwhile, a Lufthansa plane will arrive this Wednesday with another 244,800 doses.

The new doses of Sinopharm will be destined to complete the vaccination schedules already started, in accordance with the recommendation agreed at the meetings of the National Immunization Commission and the Federal Health Council that were held last week.

The decision to apply the newly arrived Sinopharm vaccines as a second dose is due to the fact that

no new contracts were signed

with the Chinese company, so the arrival of new doses in the future is not certain.

With the arrival of the shipment scheduled for Thursday, Argentina will have received a total of 

10,927,945

vaccines.

According to official data, this Tuesday morning "8,709,608 had been distributed throughout the country, of which

7,386,650 had

already been applied

: 6,507,572 of them correspond to the first dose and 879,078 to the second."
