BUENOS AIRES – Argentina is the fifth country in the world to overcome one million cases of coronavirus, said on Monday its ministry of fitness, making it the smallest country to achieve by far the grim milestone after the acceleration of infections in recent weeks.
There were 1,002,662 viruses displayed in the South American country on Monday night, the ministry said in a statement.
In the last 24 hours, 12,982 new ones have been reported and 451 more deaths have been reported, he added. (Reporting through Jorge Otola; written through Aislinn Laing; edited through Sandra Maler)
