Argentina became the
thirteenth country to reach 80,000 deaths
from coronavirus.
The Ministry of Health of the Nation reported this Friday another 539 deaths and thus the national territory accumulates 80,411 fatalities since the beginning of the pandemic.
In addition, the health portfolio confirmed 30,950 new positive cases, which climb to 3,915,397.
Despite the arrival of vaccines in recent weeks and the acceleration of the immunization plan -10.4 million received one dose but less 3 obtained both-, the number of deaths continues to grow strongly: in
just 20 days more than 10,000 were added deceased.
The first death in the country was reported on March 7 of last year.
It was a 65-year-old man who had been in France and was admitted to the Argerich Hospital.
Since then, it took 184 days to reach the 10,000 dead.
And from there it took 24 days to climb to 20,000, with the exception that the province of Buenos Aires added 3,500 that were not registered.
The 30 thousand fatalities were reached on October 29, in just 28 days.
However, already entering summer and with higher temperatures, there was a sharp slowdown in deaths, in line with the decrease in cases.
To climb the 40 thousand deceased, 68 days were required, for the 50 thousand another 66 and for the 60 thousand it took 68 days.
The impact of the so-called “second wave” of infections - which began to be felt in the first days of April - again shortened the deadlines.
In just 24 days, 70 thousand deaths were reached and only another 20 passed for the 80 thousand.
This is the shortest period of time in which 10,000 deaths were added.
According to the Argentine Integrated Health Information System (SISA), the province of Buenos Aires registers half of the deaths in the entire country, with more than 40 thousand.
Then the City of Buenos Aires (13 thousand), Santa Fe (5,500), Córdoba (4,000), Mendoza (2,700) and Tucumán (2,100) are located.
