With the increase in Covid cases in Argentina, the government has reactivated the vaccination campaign and provides new vaccination centers so that the population can overcome the rejection doses.
“The emergency is there to save hospitalizations and deaths,” said the Minister of Health, Carla Vizzotti. According to the knowledge of the Ministry of Health, in the last week of November an increase of 56% in Covid-19 cases was reported.
The Argentine Association of Respiratory Medicine stated that, before the start of the season and the end-of-year holidays, there is a threat that would be repeated in 2022, when a peak of 140,000 people would have been infected with inflammation every day. . However, we must realize that the difference is that today the increase in the number of cases does not translate into a maximum burden of hospitalizations and deaths.
In this sense, the pulmonologists of the Association’s Respiratory Infections Section have excited the population.
