                      The Ministry of Health of the Nation confirmed nine new positive cases of COVID-19 and there are already 65 infected in the whole country. As reported, there are four in Buenos Aires territory, three in Chaco and two in the Federal Capital. One of the infected is a health professional and the rest have a history of travel to risk areas. There were problems in communicating the official figures. So far there have been two deaths, that of a 64-year-old man, who was admitted to the Argerich Hospital and another 61-year-old man who was admitted to a private clinic in Resistencia, Chaco. Most of the cases are imported and local contagion only occurred in close contacts.

                      Initially there were communication problems regarding the number of new infected. The Ministry of Health of the province of Buenos Aires spread four more cases in Buenos Aires territory, but later in the report of the Ministry of Health of the Nation, which was published a few seconds later, it had denied that information. Although, as Infobae could confirm by the spokesmen of the Buenos Aires Minister of Health, Daniel Goll?n, the problem was that there was an “error in synchronization”. Because, as they explained, the daily part of Naci?n is published at 17 and the provincial one at 19, so those cases did not enter the Naci?n report. In addition, they clarified that today the parties are going to disseminate at the same time, to centralize the data and so the same thing does not happen as yesterday.

                      Similarly, it happened with data from the province of Chaco. At first the Ministry of Health of the Nation published three cases, but then the governor, Jorge Capitanich explained that there was one more case than what was announced in the Nation. As Chaco official sources explained, in the same way as in Buenos Aires cases, the daily part of Naci?n closes earlier than that of Chaco, so the latter did not enter the final report of Naci?n. Although even from Naci?n they did not update the data.

                      According to Capitanich, one of the infected is a 46-year-old woman, who works in the liaison office of the Perrando Hospital. She had started with symptoms on Thursday, March 12, the sample was taken, it was confirmed yesterday and since that Thursday she also remains isolated. And the other 3 others, explained that they correspond to the same family made up of the mother, the father and a daughter, who have a history of having been on a cruise ship that traveled through countries with viral circulation. When they arrived they had symptoms for five days and after giving notice they were isolated.

                      In the daily part of the Health portfolio it was specified that “in Argentina most cases are imported and local transmission is detected in close contacts, without evidence of community transmission. The country continues in a containment phase. ”

                      They also reported that "the health authorities of the provinces are conducting the epidemiological investigation of the new confirmed cases, in order to detect close contacts so that they comply with home isolation with daily monitoring established by protocol."

                      These cases are added to the 11 infected that the Ministry reported yesterday. The 11 cases of yesterday are 6 from the City of Buenos Aires, 2 in Chaco and 2 in Tierra del Fuego and one in the province of Buenos Aires.

                      It was also reported that of these eleven cases, eight correspond to cases with a history of travel to the risk area, while the remaining three are close contacts of confirmed cases. The total number of confirmed cases in Argentina is 65 cases, of which two died.

                      On the other hand, the Government included this Monday Brazil and Chile in the list of countries at risk for the coronavirus. The two neighboring countries join the list that is already made up of the United States, China, South Korea, Japan, Iran and the European continent.

                      President Alberto Fern?ndez decided last week that all flights from these areas be suspended for 30 days. To this measure, he added yesterday the closure of all the country's borders in order to slow down and minimize the circulation of the virus in the country.

                        Argentina will build eight emergency hospitals due to the advance of the coronavirus

                        Argentina will build eight emergency hospitals to strengthen the public health system due to the advance of the coronavirus pandemic, the country's president, Alberto Fern?ndez, announced on Wednesday.

                        "Our priority is to strengthen the public health system to care for all and all Argentines in the face of the coronavirus pandemic. In addition, we are going to build eight modular emergency hospitals, because we have to take advantage of every minute to be better prepared, ”said Fern?ndez shortly after midnight through his account on the social network Twitter.

                        Until Tuesday, Argentina registered 79 cases of coronavirus and two deaths, all imported infections or people with close contacts with infected people abroad.

                        The president carried out a helicopter overflight on Tuesday with the Minister of Public Works, Gabriel Katopodis, over the populous municipality of La Matanza, on the outskirts of Buenos Aires, to observe the progress of the works of local hospitals.

                        “Together with Gabriel Katopodis we supervise the state of the Laferrere and Rafael Castillo hospitals in La Matanza. The works were paralyzed four years ago, when those who governed thought that there was no need for more hospitals, ”wrote Fern?ndez in reference to the management of his predecessor, the conservative Mauricio Macri (2015-2019).

                        The President promised to "work tirelessly" to complete the construction works quickly and renewed his call to the population to respect the indications of social distancing and preventive isolation for those who arrive from areas considered at risk by the high circulation of the virus.

                        “You have to help us taking care of yourself and taking care of yours. Together we will take care of the health of those affected by the pandemic, "said Fern?ndez.

                        The Argentine Government has launched in recent days a wide series of measures to stop the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic, including the closing of borders to people who have been in risk areas, the suspension of classes until 31 March, the recommendation to carry out telework, the obligation to carry out a preventive isolation of 14 days to those who arrive from countries with high circulation of coronavirus, the suspension of public shows and soccer and strict regulations on short and long distance transport.

                        In turn, the authorities announced aid measures to contain the effects of the disease on the local economy, which for almost two years has been plunged into recession, with high inflation rates.

                            The national government confirmed this Friday that in the last hours, 30 other cases of coronavirus were detected in the country, with which the total number of patients amounted to 158, including 3 deaths.

                            From the Ministry of Health they indicated that 9 of the new patients are in the province of Buenos Aires, 9 in the Federal Capital, 4 in C?rdoba, 1 in Chaco, 1 in Tierra del Fuego, 1 in Entre R?os, 1 in San Luis , 1 in Corrientes, 2 in Neuqu?n and 1 in Santiago del Estero.

                            Those are the results of the studies that the Malbr?n Institute carried out on the samples sent from the different jurisdictions.

                            "Of the 30 cases, 22 correspond to people with a history of travel to the risk area, while 4 with close contacts of confirmed cases," the health authorities detailed.

                            "The health authorities of the provinces are carrying out the epidemiological investigation of the new confirmed cases, in order to detect close contacts so that they comply with the home isolation with daily monitoring established by protocol," they indicated.

                            The figures were known during the first day of the total quarantine that President Alberto Fern?ndez decreed on Thursday to extreme social isolation and thus prevent the spread of Covid-19.

                            This Friday, the data sent by the Ministry of Health of the Nation did not coincide with an official report released by the Buenos Aires Government, in which it claimed there were 13 new cases in the city.
