The two countries that exceed that rate - and by far - are India and Brazil.
In fourth place is Colombia, followed by the United States.
When looking at the incidence with respect to the population, the country is fifth globally, with
589 infected daily per million
inhabitants.
The four that exceed it (Seychelles, Uruguay, Maldives and Bahrain) have less than 4 million inhabitants, so their rates soared more before the new outbreak.
The death data are worrying as they are on the rise.
In the last week -between Friday 4 and this Thursday-
4,073
were reported
;
that is,
581
per day.
It is the highest average of fatal cases registered by the country due to covid-19 and marks a growth of
12%
in June.
The Argentine daily rate is the
third highest
globally.
In this case it is also surpassed by India and Brazil, which are around 2,600 and 1,600, respectively.
