In the fourth of the nine days of the confinement decreed to contain the second wave of the pandemic, the Government confirmed

24,601 new cases

of coronavirus and 576 deaths in Argentina.

This was reported by the Ministry of Health this afternoon, in the daily report prepared based on the data provided by the provinces in the last 24 hours.

In this way, the country has

more than 3.5 million

infected since the beginning of the global health crisis and reached

75,056 deaths

from covid-19.

The rate of infections accelerated after the long Easter weekend - first in the AMBA and then in the Interior - and the impact of new variants of the virus was evident, mainly that of Manaus, the United Kingdom and the Andean .

Last week the 30,000 daily cases were exceeded for the first time and on Wednesday a new record of

39,652 positives was registered

.

The day before, the peak of deaths for one day had been reached:

745

(the majority, 488, in Buenos Aires).

Argentina is today the

third country

with the highest number of new infections in the world.

In the last 7 days - between Tuesday 18 and Monday 24 -, the average per day was

32,310

, the highest in the entire pandemic.

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.

Vaccines

This Tuesday Mexico announced that "over the weekend" it will deliver

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.

On Monday, the first 843,600 doses of this agreement had arrived in the country, but from the United States on a Latam Cargo flight.

The one that would arrive on the weekend would be the first batch shipped from Mexico, where the active ingredient produced in our country is packaged.

In addition, this Tuesday morning, a new Aerolineas Argentinas flight left for Russia to remove another shipment from Sputnik V. It plans to return this Wednesday afternoon, with about

500 thousand doses

.

Also tomorrow a KLM flight from Amsterdam will land with a new shipment of

657,600

AstraZeneca

vaccines

, corresponding to the Covax mechanism.

Argentina received

14,355,710 vaccines

until Tuesday

.

Now it will seek to accelerate the so far slow immunization plan against the coronavirus.


According to data from the Public Vaccination Monitor, the online registry that shows in real time the immunization operation throughout the Argentine territory, until this morning 12,642,454 vaccines were distributed, of which

11,242,209 have already been applied

.

So far, only 2,434,836 people received both.
