Argentina's Coronavirus Infections on Rise, Exceeds 1000 New Cases Per Day

Argentina last week extended a mandatory lockdown in Buenos Aires, which accounts for the country's highest concentration of confirmed infections. Other areas have moved to 'mandatory and preventive social distancing.' Much of the nation had been under a shelter-in-place order since March 20. The country has a commercial flight ban until Sept. 1, one of the world's strictest travel measures during the pandemic.
