Argentina Covid cases approaching 800,000
Against a drop in the number of Covid-related deaths and daily cases in Peru one Latin American country where infections continue to rise is Argentina.
Though sad but true, Health Authorities registered their highest number of daily cases so far on Friday with 14,687 confirmed infections. While the figures were lower on Saturday and Sunday, Argentina looks set to pass the 800,000 cases mark later on Monday.
The worst affected area is the capital, Buenos Aires, and its surroundings.
Argentina was one of the countries which imposed a strict lockdown early on but, as it has loosened restrictions, the number of infections has jumped up.
Experts warn that because the number of coronavirus tests being carried out in Argentina is very low, the real figure could be much higher.
