This Thursday the Ministry of Health of the Nation reported that 31 new patients were diagnosed with coronavirus. In this way, 128 Argentines have already contracted the disease. The vast majority are of the “imported” type, that is, they traveled to countries where the virus circulated after the initial outbreak in China, and the rest because of “close contact” with the infected.
Meanwhile, President Alberto Fernández decreed a mandatory quarantine to prevent the movement of people on public roads, and in this way prevent the spread of the pandemic that caused more than 9,800 deaths around the world. The measure will take effect from this Thursday (Friday at 0) until Tuesday, March 31.
