Again, the province of Buenos Aires accumulated the majority of new infections by reporting 3,852 positives, 68% of the cases of the day. Meanwhile, the City registered 1,079 infected, or 19%.

The other infections of the day corresponded to Jujuy (172), C?rdoba (111), Mendoza (65), R?o Negro (55), Chaco (52), Santa Cruz (44), La Rioja (31), Neuqu?n (30) , Corrientes (16), Entre R?os (15), Tierra del Fuego (14), La Pampa (10), Tucum?n (10), Salta (9), Chubut (3), Santiago del Estero (2), San Luis ( 2) and Formosa (1).

Only three districts did not report new positives: Catamarca, Misiones and San Juan, which, after the increase in cases in La Pampa, became the Argentine province with the fewest infections, only 20 so far.

This Tuesday 14,899 new samples were made and since the start of the outbreak there were 675,011 diagnostic tests for this disease, which is equivalent to 14,875.7 samples per million inhabitants.

Meanwhile, it is known that the quarantine will have a ninth stage starting next Monday, August 3. It will be so because the number of daily cases is high, but it is not yet known how it will be implemented, and if there will be common strategies or if the City and Greater Buenos Aires, the districts most affected by infections, will take different paths.

Something about it began to be outlined this Wednesday morning in La Plata, where the Buenos Aires officials raised their will to keep things as they are and even advance to the next of the 6 stages that were announced ten days ago to add activities in the inevitable coexistence with the coronavirus.

In the Province, meanwhile, the high number of daily cases is more worrying, the position seems to be more conservative and could even imply going back in phase.

In the province, the union secretary of the Trade Union Association of Buenos Aires Health Workers (CICOP), Pablo Maciel, warned of the possibility of "hardening social isolation measures" to "avoid the worst case scenario and have to choose who who lives and who doesn't, for lack of resources. "

To date, the total of those recovered from COVID-19 exceeds 170 thousand. In reference to this, the Undersecretary of Health Strategies, Alejandro Costa, said that this figure represents 70% of the total confirmed cases.

In an interview with Infobae, the Minister of Health of the Nation said that, "being optimistic, he could ensure that the vaccine against COVID-19 will be available next year." He also referred to the increase in the number of cases. “I think there is community circulation in a huge amount of population. In addition, we went from doing 2,000 tests to now doing 16,000 per day, which naturally expands the possibility of more cases. And, finally, by expanding the way in which a person is diagnosed or considered to have the virus, clearly we are also going to expand the number, "said Gin?s Gonz?lez Garc?a.

Towards the end of the report, the head of the national health portfolio added: “This is not over yet. So that we can continue to have fewer consequences, especially fatal ones, we have to fulfill each other's personal responsibility. We went back to the roasts, to the mateadas, to the mass meetings, and that is a mechanism that has been shown to be brutal in the expansion of circulation and therefore in the number of patients ”.

A deceased person, resident in the province of Buenos Aires, does not register sex data.

During the day on Tuesday, 19,174 new samples were taken and since the beginning of the outbreak, 891,817 diagnostic tests for this disease were carried out, which is equivalent to 19,653.6 samples per million inhabitants. To date, the total number of registrations is 187,283 people.

The number of cases discarded until yesterday is 501,652 (by laboratory and by clinical / epidemiological criteria).

“As of August 3, of the 206,730 confirmed, 29,612 were over 60 cases, 14.3%; but of the 3,813 deceased, 3,121 are older, that is, 81.9%. The fatality rate in people over 60 years of age is 10.5%, ”said Carla Vizzotti, Secretary of Access to Health of the Nation.

The official pointed out that this 1.9% fatality rate is "a low percentage, a stable number" that is measured in relation to those infected. He also confirmed that Argentina surpassed Mexico and Ecuador in the incidence of the disease but that "mortality per million inhabitants remains below that of most countries in the region," with an increase "that is not so accelerated" and that it allows "the health system to continue providing answers."

The secretary stressed that Jujuy yesterday reported more than 300 cases, 4.5 of the total in the country and a record for that jurisdiction in a single day.

In the morning report it was specified that a total of 1,585 people have the disease in intensive care units throughout the country, of which 83.2% do so in health centers in the City and the province of Buenos Aires. The occupation of intensive care beds, beyond the illness that explains the hospitalization of the patient, at the national level averages 58.2%, while in the AMBA it reaches 68.6%.

The positivity index, which measures the number of cases found on tests performed, yesterday stood at 44.1% country average, 36.1% in the City and 49.8% in the province of Buenos Aires.

Regarding the increasing number of deaths in the last hours, Vizzotti clarified that there may be a difference between the date of death and when the death is reported, but asked not to lose sight of the fact that “that person is not a number and neither is his whole family ”.

“There could be a much stronger announcement from the President. Wait for it with anxiety because it is going to be very good news, "said Gin?s Gonz?lez Garc?a, Minister of Health of the Nation, regarding COVID-19 after visiting the Buenos Aires municipality of La Matanza, together with Mayor Fernando Espinoza, at noon.
