The second wave
Due to the impact of the outbreak that began after Easter, Argentina is currently the fourth country with the highest number of new infections in the world, behind India, Brazil and Colombia.
In the week prior to today's report -between Tuesday 8 and Monday 14-, the average per day was
23,978
, an average that has been falling after the latest restrictions.
On May 23, it had peaked at 33,171.
Since then, it has
dropped by almost 28%
.
When looking at the incidence with respect to the population, the country is fifth globally, with
530 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 since last week they have been at the highest levels of the pandemic.
In the week prior to today's report - between Tuesday 8 and Monday 14 -
4,089
were reported
;
that is, 583 per day.
The daily average of Argentine deaths is the third highest globally.
In this case, it is surpassed by India and Brazil, which are around 3,600 and 1,900, respectively.
