39,652 positives was registered
.

This figure is only surpassed by India (245,696) and Brazil (66,195).
In fourth place is the United States (24,878), which until the end of last week registered more cases than our country.
When seeing the incidence of this new outbreak with respect to the population, Argentina is
fifth
globally, with
714 daily infected per million inhabitants
.
The four that exceed it (Maldives, Bahrain, Uruguay and Seychelles) have less than 4 million inhabitants, so their rates soared more before the new outbreak.
The data of
new deaths
are also worrying.
Argentina is now the
fourth country
with the most fatal cases per day with an average of
493
(taking the data from the last week).
It is only surpassed by India, Brazil and the United States.

another 800,000
AstraZeneca
vaccines
to Argentina.
It will be the second shipment for the contract for 22.4 million vaccines that the Government signed with the laboratory and which had severe delays in deliveries.
“Each vaccine represents a lower risk of hospitalization and death for each person who receives it -that is why-, the collaboration that was generated for access to Sputnik V and this consideration and support that Mexico is having in relation to the epidemiological situation of Argentina to favor faster access of vaccines to the country is very important and we value it, ”said Minister Carla Vizzotti, who traveled to monitor the vaccine release process.
This Monday another 600 thousand doses of the Sputnik V vaccine against the coronavirus arrived in the country.
