Argentina adopted the plan after 10 consecutive weeks of lower case numbers and eight weeks of decreasing deaths.
Argentina will relax coronavirus restrictions as infection and mortality rates fall, the government announced on Friday, even as the South American nation approached five million cases with more than 107,000 deaths. The government said its plan includes an increase in the number of people who can meet in person, reopening of schools and an increase in the number of people allowed to enter the country to 1,700 per day from the current 1,000. Argentina has a total population of about 45 million. “The more we vaccinate and take care of ourselves, the more we can sustain these achievements and advance in sustained and progressive openings,” President Alberto Fernandez said in a recorded TV message.More Related News
