See what relief Argentina has made despite the quarantine! – Latin America

The Argentine government continued until May 10 to tighten restrictions on the movement of people to stop the spread of the coronavirus, but at the same time to alleviate some conditions, BTA reported.

President Alberto Fernández announced yesterday that the measures would no longer apply to cities with at least 500,000 residents.

Plus, everyone can now leave their home for up to an hour, but only 500 meters away.

In less populated areas, provincial governments will determine regulations if certain conditions are met, including the fact that the number of newborns does not double in at least 15 days, Fernández said.

According to official data, 3,780 people tested positive for the coronavirus, with 185 dead.
