The Argentine Ministry of Health announced, on Thursday, that the death toll from the Covid-19 pandemic in the country has exceeded the threshold of 25,000 deaths out of about 950,000 confirmed cases of the virus.
The ministry said that the cumulative number of injuries recorded in Argentina, the Latin American country with a population of 44 million, reached Thursday 949,050 injured, of whom 25,342 died.
She added that the past twenty-four hours had recorded 17,096 new infections and 421 deaths.
After the Argentine authorities imposed strict quarantine measures throughout the country that lasted for many months, the wheel of life in the country gradually turned around, but large public gatherings and indoor gatherings are still prohibited.
Residents are forbidden to move around the country without wearing a mask.
According to a census prepared by Agence France-Presse, Argentina is the fifth most affected country in the world by Covid-19 in terms of the number of people infected with the virus, and the twelfth country in the world in terms of the number of deaths caused by the virus.
The opposition-backed demonstrations took place in the capital and a number of major cities last August, in opposition to the quarantine imposed by the government, while epidemiologists criticized those demonstrations and gatherings due to the sharp rise in the country in the number of infections and deaths caused by the virus.
