21:09 | Buenos Aires, sea. 2. 3.

The Government of Argentina confirmed on Monday the detection of a first case of community transmission of coronaviruses and made progress in defining actions to deal with the emergency, particularly in the most vulnerable areas of the country.

The Ministry of Health reported the first case of possible community transmission of the virus, out of a total of 301 confirmed infections to date (four of them deceased) and which are mostly cases with a history of travel abroad.

"A case does not have a history of travel or close contact," Argentina's undersecretary for health strategies, Alejandro Costa, told a press conference.

"We have some provinces where the number of cases is already more important and where we can say that community transmission is beginning, such as the metropolitan area of Buenos Aires, some cities in Chaco, the province of Tierra del Fuego and the city of C?rdoba" , indicated the secretary of Access to Health, Carla Vizzotti.

36 new cases, less increase than yesterday

According to the latest report released by the ministerial ministry, 36 new cases of covid-19 were confirmed this Monday, the majority (13) in the province of Santa Fe, followed by the city of Buenos Aires (11), bringing the total of infected amounts to 301. This increase is less than what was known yesterday, when there were 41 more, and that of Saturday, with 67.

The Argentine president, Alberto Fern?ndez, met this Monday with the governor of the province of Buenos Aires, Axel Kicillof, and the 25 mayors of the so-called Buenos Aires metropolitan area, the urban cordon that surrounds the country's capital and which concentrates 12.2 million people, out of a total of 44.9 million inhabitants in Argentina.

At the meeting, it was agreed to expand the emergency operating committee to coordinate actions in health, food assistance and security.

"We are seeking that the entire deployment of the security forces can be coordinated in the best possible way to make more efficient use of resources," said Kicillof at a press conference, who asked citizens to comply with the mandatory isolation that governs the entire population since last Friday.

The conurbano, with high population density, is one of the poorest in the country. According to the latest official data available, corresponding to the first semester of 2019, the poverty rate in the Buenos Aires suburbs is 39.8% and the indigence rate is 9.1%.

More beds

The Argentine government said it seeks to expand the number of non-hospital beds to 16,000 in Buenos Aires and its populous urban cordon through agreements with unions, hotels, clubs and other civil organizations, including churches.

He also announced that in the next few days 700 new intensive care beds will be added in hospitals in the province of Buenos Aires.

On the other hand, the Argentine Army is working on the installation of its Relocatable Military Hospital located next to the Campo de Mayo Military Hospital, on the outskirts of Buenos Aires, whose capabilities will also be expanded.

Dosed flights

The Ministry of Transportation reported this Monday in a statement that international flights for the repatriation of Argentines will continue to arrive at Ezeiza airport, the main airport in the country, but announced that they will be "dosed" due to the "sanitary need to control" passengers and to do a "better job" at receiving each plane.

According to the Argentine authorities, this measure will allow "preventing passengers from crowding together due to the large number of flights landed at the same time."

For its part, the state-owned Aerolineas Argentinas said today that since the beginning of the air restrictions imposed on March 13, it has transferred some 10,000 Argentines stranded in "risk areas" back to the country, a figure that increases to 25,000 if added passengers who came from other points.

So far, the flag carrier has carried out 27 of the 38 special flights scheduled to bring Argentineans stranded abroad...

They confirmed that there are already 42 fatal victims of coronavirus in Argentina
The Ministry of Health reported five new deceased in the last 24 hours
April 3, 2020

The Ministry of Health confirmed that in the last 24 hours five people died from coronavirus in Argentina and the number of fatalities in the country amounts to 42.

After noon, the death of a 53-year-old woman, a neighbor of the San Miguel party, province of Buenos Aires, who was admitted to the San Miguel Arc?ngel Hospital, was first reported. Then that of an 87-year-old man from Campana, who remained in serious condition at the San Jos? Municipal Hospital.

With the report of the Ministry of Health, both deaths were ratified, as well as that of three other men: one 72-year-old, resident in the province of Buenos Aires; another 60-year-old from Chaco; and the last 76-year-old, of Spanish nationality, resident in the province of Mendoza.

From the municipality of San Miguel they confirmed the news through Twitter: “We regret to report that this morning a 54-year-old neighbor died, with coronavirus and associated risk factors, who was hospitalized at the San Miguel Arc?ngel Hospital. Tonight, as usual, we will publish the case update. ”



The 87-year-old man died after noon after suffering a decompensation after staying for several days in the San Jos? de Campana Municipal Hospital. It is the third coronavirus death in the municipality.

Fernando Mar?n, the deceased Chaco doctor, had been hospitalized six days ago in the Femechaco sanatorium in the provincial capital, and was in a delicate state of health with decreased lung capacity.

The death occurred shortly after 8pm on Thursday in the provincial capital. According to the epidemiological investigation, Mar?n had maintained contact in his private clinic in Villa Don Enrique with two other patients who became ill with COVID-19: one of them had been attorney Ana Mar?a Tonzar (63), who was one of the six previous fatalities in Chaco. In turn, Tonzar had shared mate with the "patient zero" of the province. Another of the contacts he had made was with the secretary of another person who died in the district.

The doctor had symptoms of the disease in the first days of infection, but emphatically refused to be admitted and chose to isolate himself with home treatment. The truth is that this refusal to receive hospital care was decisive for the fatal outcome, according to health sources told Infobae.


In his last days, Mar?n was going through a notable deterioration and his skin had taken on a dark hue due to the lack of oxygen. Her lungs were compromised and her body began to fail until, last night, her heart stopped working.

According to official data from the Ministry of Health, the total number of cases confirmed by COVID-19 is 1,353.

Of the total of these cases, it was reported that 656 (48.5%) are imported, 444 (32.8%) are close contacts of confirmed cases, 113 (8.4%) are cases of community circulation and the rest are found in epidemiological research.
