BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) – The Argentine government said the country’s total coronavirus deaths exceeded 10,000 on Monday, as the South American country struggles to control its infection rate.
The country has recorded 10129 deaths out of 48,8007 confirmed cases of the virus, according to government data. Half of the coronavirus tests in Argentina are positive.
Argentina has been under lockdown since March 20, although cases have increased in recent weeks. Some areas of the country, including the capital, Buenos Aires, are still subject to varying levels of quarantine, although some activities such as exercise and dining in open-air restaurants have resumed recently.
