On Tuesday, Argentina’s health authorities recommended the end of vaccination schedules and the use of masks in enclosed spaces as the number of COVID-19 cases has increased slightly over the past three weeks, though this has yet to affect hospitalizations.

“Over the past three weeks, the number of cases has increased COVID-19 that it is not predominant (compared to other respiratory viruses) and does not lead to hospitalization and death. This is because 82% of the population has at least two doses of the vaccine and if we have reinforcements that will make it be maintained in an important way,” Health Minister Carla Vizzotti said on Radio 10.

Health authorities recommend vaccinating those who have been more than 120 days since their last dose (with availability from Moderna and Pfizer) because the number of people who received four doses drops to 6.2 million and three doses drops to 21.8 million in a country with 47 million. residents.

They renew the masks

Argentina -who went through three big waves of infections and long periods of quarantine- accumulates 9,727,247 cases COVID-19 and 130,025 deaths from the coronavirus since the beginning of the pandemic, according to official figures, after registering 3,323 cases last week (versus 1,357 cases on November 6) and eight deaths.

But adult intensive care bed occupancy was 41.5% as of last Sunday.

Ministry of Health care Argentina two months ago, we agreed that the use of a mask was no longer officially mandatory.

But this Tuesday, Nicholas Kreplak, health minister for the country’s most populous province of Buenos Aires, recommended that it be used again indoors if a person “feels” safer with it.
