more than 40% of its total infections
since the start of the pandemic.
According to the part released by the Ministry of Health of the Nation, that province
registered 5,630 cases of Covid
.

an update
and that overdue data was added to the daily load.
Of the total, only 644 were infections in the last 24 hours, according to the daily report released by the province of Formosa.

From the Ministry of Health of the Nation they explained that "this situation was due to the updating of their notifications of cases from previous months pending loading in the National Health Surveillance System (SNVS 2.0)".
And they added that "this responds to a delay in the manual loading of data, since although the province had been sending negative cases automatically,
positive cases were still being loaded manually
."
Before
Clarín's
query
, the health portfolio attributed the delay in the burden of positive cases to the province of Formosa.
"With the aim of catching up with the registry, since Saturday the province began to interoperate its system with the Nation system for the loading of positive cases in an automated way. For this reason and in a process of updating their information, as of today registers 13,796 cases, "they added from the national Health portfolio.
They also advanced that
there are more old data to be loaded
: "It is expected that in the next few days the province will complete the registry of positive cases in the national system."
Meanwhile, the version of the province is different, as highlighted in the daily informative part of Sunday (05/16/2021) that they share on the official site of the province.
There they highlight: "We inform that due to the delay on the part of the Ministry of Health of the Nation in loading the data of our province, which is evidenced in a discrepancy of numbers of positive cases and deaths, we have made the pertinent claims in a documented manner so that they update the national database according to the information that our Provincial Health system provides, in due time and form and that is known to the entire Formosa community, since it is reflected in the daily informative parts ".
Although this Monday is the highest figure reported in a day in Formosa, a high load was also recorded on Sunday.
Between the two days, 6,851 infections were added, when a day before only 7 had been reported.
There
are
still
discrepancies
between the national and provincial reports.
According to the last part of Formosa, the total number of diagnosed cases is 19,323, which represents a
difference of 5,527
with respect to
to the records kept by the Nation.
There is also evidence of a
gap in the update of deaths
from coronavirus.
The morning provincial communiqué confirmed 11 deaths and that of Sunday had reported 14. However, the last Nation communiqué that included Formosa in the list of provinces with deaths from Covid is from last Friday (8 women and 16 men).
There had already been a strong rise in cases nationwide for overdue data loading.
It happened at the beginning of April, when the uploading of data from several provinces to the Argentine Integrated Health Information System (SISA) was affected because there were several holidays.
At that time, about 9,000 additional cases were incorporated due to the delay in the system.
According to the latest update, only the Province of Buenos Aires (8,979) exceeded the number of daily cases in Formosa.
Although it remains the province with the fewest infections (followed by La Rioja, with 15,016, and Misiones, with 18,070), local media warn about the
strength of the second wave
of coronavirus and indicate that they are going through their worst pandemic weeks.

Since 2020, Formosa has been the center of controversy, with alleged
persecutions and Human Rights violations
.
Everything was unleashed with reports of
abuses in the isolation centers
, at the end of 2020. Neighbors indicated that the Insfrán government had led to compulsory confinements.
In addition, they indicated a
lack of attention
in the official places of isolation.
Journalistic reports even showed how people from Formos who wanted to return had to camp on the side of the road, in Chaco, a few meters from the entrance to their province.
In parallel, merchants and neighbors opposed a return to phase 1 of social, preventive and compulsory isolation.
Gabriela Neme, referring to the complaints in Formosa, was arrested in a protest.
The Secretary of Human Rights of the Nation,
Horacio Pietragalla
, visited Formosa before the claims.
Despite the complaints, the official said that
"there is no systematic violation of human rights"
and that raising this "is almost a joke."
However, weeks later the Formosan government announced the relaxation of isolation protocols, with a Council for Comprehensive Attention to the Covid-19 Emergency.
In the midst of the protests, in which representatives of the opposition such as Patricia Bullrich participated, the Police detained councilors Gabriela Neme and Celeste Ruiz Diaz, who had been in charge of the complaints and had accused Governor Insfrán for the conditions " inhumane isolation centers ".
