which are the Buenos Aires neighborhoods with more and fewer cases

This Saturday the number of coronavirus infections in Argentina showed a rebound. In the last 24 hours, 6 new deaths and 167 new cases were known, so there are already 2,142 in the country.

So far, 578 cases have been detected in the City of Buenos Aires, which represents 27% of the total and makes it the most compromised district. As only 6.5% of the national population lives there, a hypothesis to explain this could be the high population density it has. As many people live in a small space – against the social isolation recommended by professionals – the virus can be transmitted more easily.

When analyzing by neighborhood, the detail is as follows:

• Palermo: 53 cases.
• Recoleta: 44.
• San Cristóbal and Balvanera: 56 cases between the two.
• Comuna 13 (Núñez, Belgrano and Colegiales): 43 patients.

In the South of the City it is where less detected cases appear:

• Commune 4 (La Boca, Barracas, Parque Patricios and Nueva Pompeya): 14.
• Commune 9 (Liniers, Mataderos and Parque Avellaneda): 11.
• Commune 8 (Villa Soldati, Villa Lugano and Villa Riachuelo): 7.
