Due to the impact of the second wave, Argentina is today the
fourth country
with the most daily infections.
The average for the last 7 days - from May 11 to 17 - was
24,406
.
This figure is only surpassed by India (which averages 319,497 cases and suffers a devastating advance from the health crisis), Brazil (63,914) and the United States (32,032).
If the incidence of cases in relation to Argentina is taken, it is
fifth
globally, with
540 infected daily per million inhabitants
.
With a detail: the four countries that surpass it (Maldives, Seychelles, Bahrain and Uruguay) have less than 4 million inhabitants, so their rates soared more before the new outbreak.

The data of new deaths are also worrying if you look at the photo from the last week.
Argentina is the
fifth
country with the most fatal cases per day with an average of
458
.
In this case, in addition to India, Brazil and the United States, it is surpassed by Colombia.
The restrictions
At this time, the measures that will govern from Saturday, when the last presidential DNU expire, are being defined.
President Alberto Fernández ruled out going back to phase 1, but confirmed that the restrictions will continue and asked the provinces
"to put the controls back on
.
"
In the City, the head of Government Horacio Rodríguez Larreta does not plan, at least for now, to close the Buenos Aires primary schools.
Yes, on the other hand, there could be a chance to pass secondary schools to virtuality.
In any case, the evolution of infections in the next few hours will be key to define the measures.

The Province of Buenos Aires, meanwhile, updated the phase system and confirmed that there are already 59 municipalities in phase two, which implies the closure of schools.
Meanwhile, 66 districts are in phase three and there are 10 in phase four.
As reported on Tuesday by the Chief of Staff, Carlos Bianco, the districts of
Adolfo Alsina, Alberti, Coronel Suárez, Pergamino and San Pedro
went to phase 2 this week, "with temporary suspension of the presence of classes."
Something similar happened in Santa Fe, where all the intensive care beds in the main cities were filled over the weekend.
Governor Omar Perotti decided to suspend presence in classrooms in Rosario, Santa Fe and Rafaela and are evaluating more restrictions.
