BUENOS AIRES (Reuters) – Argentina’s coronavirus death toll jumped above 20,000 on Thursday as a large number of previously untallied deaths were included to the overall, stressing how the country has actually gone from regional role model to one of the worst-hit in the world.
The health ministry added 3,352 deaths, most of which were from a stockpile of deaths from the province of Buenos Aires, taking the overall to 20,288, just behind Russia.
Argentina’s rolling 7-day average of day-to-day cases and fatalities has actually continued to rise, even as other nations in the region have seen the spread of the virus slow in recent weeks as federal governments look to reopen their battered economies.
