The COVID-19 pandemic in Argentina is part of the worldwide pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). On 3 March 2020, the virus was confirmed to have spread to Argentina.[1][2][3][4] As of 16 December 2020[update] a total of 1,517,029 people were confirmed to have been infected, and 41,365 people were known to have died because of the virus.[5]
On 7 March, the Ministry of Health confirmed the country's first documented death, a 64-year-old man who had travelled to Paris, France, who also had other health conditions;[6] the case was only confirmed as positive after the patient's demise.[6]
On 19 March a nation-wide lockdown until 31 March was established in Argentina.[7][8] The government later extended the lockdown to mid April,[9] then 26 April;[10] and on 25 April, President Alberto Fernández announced that the lockdown would be extended in major cities until 10 May.[11] The lockdown was lifted throughout all the country, excepting the Greater Buenos Aires urban area (where 31.9% of the country's population live),[12] on 10 May, with Greater Buenos Aires locked down until 24 May,[13] later extended to 7 June,[14] and then 28 June, after a big jump in the number of new cases in this area.[15] On 26 June, Fernández announced that the restrictions on movement in this area that were previously eased would be tightened again until 17 July due to a large spike in cases on the previous days.[16] Finally, on 17 July, the lockdown was due to be gradually loosened in several stages to lead to the return to normality,[17] although restrictions were extended several times until 8 November.[18]
Responses to the outbreak have included restrictions on commerce and movement, closure of borders, and the closure of schools and educational institutions.[19] Clusters of infections and deaths have occurred in nursing homes, prisons and other detention centers, and urban areas.[20][21] The number of tests increased over time, although there were some concerns as there was less testing than in other countries of the region such as Chile and Peru.[22] Even so, the government's responses to the pandemic were among the best received by the population in the region during the early stages of the pandemic.[23]
Background
On 12 January, the World Health Organization (WHO) confirmed that a novel coronavirus was the cause of a respiratory illness in a cluster of people in Wuhan City, Hubei Province, China, who was reported to the WHO on 31 December 2019.[24][25] The case fatality rate for COVID-19[26][27] has been much lower than the 2002–2004 SARS outbreak, but transmission has been significantly greater, with a significant total death toll.[28][26] Model-based simulations for Argentina indicate that the 95% confidence interval for the time-varying reproduction number Rt exceeded 1.0 from April to July 2020, after which it diminished to below 1.0 in October and November 2020[29]
Timeline
February 2020
After the cruise ship Diamond Princess was quarantined in the Port of Yokohama in Japan after 10 passengers were diagnosed with COVID-19 during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic,[30] among the passengers diagnosed positive was the first Argentine infected, a 61-year-old man travelling with his wife, who had no symptoms. The patient was later transferred to a hospital in Japan.[31] The other seven Argentines on board, including his wife, remained on the cruise in quarantine until February 21.[32] The man was finally released on February 17. He left Japan on February 24 and arrived in Argentina on February 26.[33]
March 2020
A first case of the COVID-19 was confirmed in Buenos Aires on 3 March, in a 43-year-old man who had arrived two days earlier from Milan, Italy.[2] Two days later, the second case was confirmed in a 23-year-old man living in Buenos Aires, who had recently returned from Northern Italy.[34] Rapidly, on the next day the total cases increased to eight.[35]
The Ministry of Health confirmed the country's first death from coronavirus in the country on 7 March, a 64-year-old man who had travelled to Paris who also had other health conditions.[6] The person was not among the eight already diagnosed with the disease and was diagnosed post-mortem.[36]
On 11 March, the government also announced a mandatory 14-day-quarantine to every person that returned to Argentina from highly affected countries including China, South Korea, Japan, Iran, the United States and all of Europe.[37][38] The first cases from local transmission were confirmed on the next day in Buenos Aires and the provinces of Buenos Aires, Chaco, and Córdoba.[39] In Chaco, the first native transmission was also confirmed.[40] The first patient with the virus in the country was discharged and left hospital in Buenos Aires the next day.[41][42]
Tierra del Fuego was put on lockdown on 16 March, becoming the first province to do so.[43] The provinces of Chaco, Misiones, Salta, Jujuy, Mendoza and Tierra del Fuego closed their borders on 18 March.[44] On the next day, in the night of 19 March, President Alberto Fernández announced a mandatory lockdown, in effect from midnight on 20 March until 31 March,[7][8] but on 29 March Fernández announced that the mandatory lockdown would be extended until April 12.[9]
On 23 March, Ministry of Health officials reported the virus was spreading via "community transmission" in the City of Buenos Aires, its surroundings and some cities in Chaco, Tierra del Fuego and Córdoba provinces.[45] March concluded with 1,054 confirmed cases and 27 fatal victims.[46]
April 2020
On 8 April, President Fernández announced that the mandatory lockdown would be extended beyond 12 April, with "flexibilization" of few activities only.[47] In the night of 10 April, Fernández confirmed that the lockdown would be extended until 26 April in major cities,[10] and that the flexibilisation of restrictions in zones with lesser risk would be analysed.[48] A third phase of the lockdown was later announced by the president on 25 March, extending it to major cities until 10 May.[49]
After appearance of three asymptomatic cases, Buenos Aires authorities introduced compulsory masking starting on April 14. Wearing a face mask was made obligatory for everyone on public transit and everyone who contacts with the public in their position. Violators would face a fine. Authorities also prohibited the sale of N95 masks to non-medical workers, suggesting the general public to use home-made masks instead.[50]
April finally concluded with 4,415 confirmed cases, 218 deaths and 1,245 recoveries.[51]
May–July 2020
On 8 May, Fernández announced that the national lockdown would be "relaxed" throughout the country with the exception of Greater Buenos Aires, where the lockdown was extended first until 24 May,[13] and later until 7 June (on 23 May), due to a big increase in the number of new cases in the previous days of the announcement.[14] May ended with 16,838 confirmed cases, 539 deaths and 5,323 recoveries.[52]
On 9 June, The Government of the Province of Formosa reported the first case of COVID-19 in its province, leaving the province of Catamarca as the only province that did not report any cases at the time.[53]
Martín Insaurralde, the Mayor of Lomas de Zamora was diagnosed with COVID-19 and isolated on 12 June.[54] After having meetings with the mayor, the Ministry of Social Development was also tested.[55] This led to the suspension of the previously planned president's visit to Catamarca, the only province that has not reported any cases to this date.[56]
The first official data from ICU bed occupation became available on 24 June, with an occupation of 45 percent throughout the country.[57] A few days later, it was informed that June concluded with 64,517 confirmed cases, 1,307 deaths and 22,015 recoveries from the virus.[58]
On 3 July, The Governor of the Province of Catamarca confirmed its first case within the province. Catamarca was the last province to report its first case since the virus reached the country on 3 March.[59]
At a press conference given by President Fernández, Governors Axel Kicillof (Province of Buenos Aires), Jorge Capitanich (Chaco), Gerardo Morales (Jujuy) and Arabela Carreras (Río Negro), and the Mayor of the City of Buenos Aires, Horacio Rodríguez Larreta on 17 July, it was announced that the lockdown would be loosened in the coming weeks, in an attempt to return to normality.[17] Two weeks later, on 31 July, in another press conference, Fernández announced that the lockdown restrictions at that moment would continue until 16 August as there were a record of cases and deaths in the past days due to the virus.[60] July concluded with 191,289 confirmed cases, 3,543 deaths and 83,767 recoveries.[61]
August–September 2020
On 9 August, the Ministry of Health confirmed a total of 61,867 new recoveries on that day. This big jump was due to a revision on the definition of a recovery, which now included (among the discharged from the hospitals) mild cases in which the system would automatically discharge 10 days after the symptom onset date. This led to a recovery rate of 70% of confirmed COVID-19 cases through the date.[62] President Fernández announced on 28 August that meetings of up to ten people in the open air, maintaining two meters of distance and using a face mask were authorized throughout the country. That same day, it was announced that the eased lockdown would be extended again until 20 September.[63] August finally concluded with 417,722 confirmed cases, 8,660 deaths and 301,182 recoveries.[64]
During this month, schools and sports began the return to their activities. Over 10,000 students in San Juan became the first to return to face-to-face classes through social distancing on 10 August.[65][66] The Argentine Football Association (AFA) announced that after health protocols being approved by the government, practices of the Men's First Division and Women's First Division would definitely return on 10 August.[67][68]
On 14 August, it was confirmed that the Governor of Jujuy (Gerardo Morales) and the Security Minister from the Province of Buenos Aires (Sergio Berni) tested positive for COVID-19.[69][70] They both described that were "asymptomatic" and also "complying with isolation and all medical recommendations".[71]
The lockdown was extended for three more weeks on 18 September, expecting it to last until 11 October. The contagion rate on the Greater Buenos Aires area dropped from 93 to 50.8 percent from May though September, indicating that the virus increased its spreading through all the country. In the first 15 days of September, the provinces of Córdoba, Jujuy, La Rioja, Mendoza, Neuquén, Río Negro, Salta, Santa Cruz, Santa Fe, Tierra del Fuego and Tucumán registered exponential increases in their number of cases, with most of them showing high strain on their healthcare systems.[72] On 25 September, the Health Access Secretary informed that during the previous week there was a "stabilization trend" in the Greater Buenos Aires area with a "high peak of positive cases".[73] On the same day, it was confirmed that the Minister of Social Development, Daniel Arroyo, tested positive,[74] while the Minister of Health of Santa Fe was hospitalized in a hospital in Rosario due to a worsening of her symptoms after testing positive for COVID-19.[75] September concluded with 750,988 cummulative confirmed cases, 16,937 cummulative deaths and 594,632 recoveries.[76]
October–November 2020
On 2 October, the governor of the province of Buenos Aires, Axel Kicillof, isolated with his family after having contact with a government worker that tested positive for COVID-19.[77] One week later, Fernández announced that due to the epidemiological situation in the previous weeks, the lockdown would continue for another two weeks until 25 October. Contagion rate from Greater Buenos Aires diminished versus the rest of the country. As of this date, 65 percent of the total daily confirmed cases come from all the country except the Greater Buenos Aires area, which was the main contagion focus in the past months.[78] The provinces of Río Negro, Mendoza, Tucumán, Santa Fe, Salta, Santiago del Estero, Neuquén and Córdoba saw an increase in the number of occupied ICU beds, with Río Negro reaching to a 88 percent of occupation.[79]
On 20 October, Argentina confirmed over 1,000,000 positive cases, becoming the fifth country to do so and the second country in South America to pass the landmark.[80] Three days later, it was announced that the lockdown would continue for another two weeks in provinces with a high number of daily new confirmed cases.[81] October finally ended with a total of 1,166,911 cases, 31,002 deaths and 973,926 recoveries from the virus.[82]
During the first days of November, the government announced that will acquire during December 2020 and January 2021, 25 million of doses from the Russian vaccine Sputnik V after it would enter phase III.[83][84][85] Other vaccines such as the developed by University of Oxford and AstraZeneca, Pfizer, and China were also announced to be acquired eventually.[86]
The president also said on 3 November, that "the horizon was starting to come into sight", after the 7-day average of new cases dipped significantly after hitting a high on 21 October.[87] This led to an end on the lockdown established in the Greater Buenos Aires area after more than seven months, set to conclude on 8 November and moving into the social distancing phase.[18]
Responses
Medical response
Initial response
The Ministry of Health summoned health professionals to provide health services in the context of the pandemic, in search of reinforcing the teams made up by the national and provincial governments. This call included nurses, biochemists, physiotherapists and physicians, in particular in the fields of medical clinic, cardiology, pneumonology, adult and pediatric intensive care, emergentology, pediatrics and general and/or family medicine. Proposals from professionals from other specialties were also received.[88] Around 4,000 people joined a call from the University of Buenos Aires (UBA) to summon volunteers to help on the influenza vaccination campaign, advanced medical students to be in triage in tents near hospitals where the patients will be first checked, volunteers to do a follow-up of isolated patients at home with a confirmed or suspected diagnosis of COVID-19, and volunteers to work on logistics.[89]
Testing
The ANLIS-Malbrán (National Administration of Laboratories and Health Institutes "Dr. Carlos G. Malbrán") began carrying out 300 daily COVID-19 tests. Later, after 820 confirmed cases were reached, the Ministry of Health started the delivery of 35,000 reactives to expand the number of laboratories for diagnosis to all 24 jurisdictions in order to decentralize the testings,[90] making the number of testings increase over time.[91] Private medical clinics would be able to do up to 7,500 daily tests to decompress the public health system. Previously, the delivery of the diagnostic result was taking four to five days on average for patients in private clinics.[92]
Contact tracing
As an effort to fight and contain the virus, the Ministry of Health implemented a plan of contact tracing in defined areas where an increase in the number of cases is detected or estimated. The plan launched first in Buenos Aires and was later extended throughout the country.[93] The program, called Detectar (Detect in English; Strategic Testing Device for Coronavirus in Argentina Terrain), launched on May after a big jump in the number of cases in low socioeconomic class and densely populated neighborhoods in Greater Buenos Aires, known as villas.[94]
Drug therapy and vaccine development
On 17 April, a clinical trial based on plasma donation of recovered patients from COVID-19 was created to find out if the antibodies of a recovered patient could benefit those who are being infected.[95][96][97] It began on hospitals and hemotherapy centers in Greater Buenos Aires and was later extended to the rest of the country.[98]

Argentine scientists developed a quick diagnosis test to detect the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), approved by the National Administration of Medicines, Food and Medical Technology (ANMAT in Spanish). The test, called NEOKIT-COVID-19, allows to obtain results in almost an hour and it offers a high degree of sensitivity (which reduces the possibility of false negatives) and specificity (which minimizes the probability of false positives).[99] This test allows testing RNA samples and does not require complex equipment (such as thermal cyclers).[100] It was expected that 10,000 tests would be produced within the first 10 days.[101][102] On 13 June, a new announcement of another quick diagnosis test to detect the SARS-CoV-2 was made. Called ELA-chemstrip, it was developed by Argentine scientists from the National University of Quilmes and the National University of General San Martín.[103] Another SARS-CoV-2 diagnostic kit with RT-qPCR technology was approved in September by ANMAT, while a new kit under development (as of that date), would allow the joint detection of SARS-CoV-2 and the viruses that cause influenza.[104]
On 31 May, it was announced that Argentine scientists were also working to develop a COVID-19 vaccine, a project subsidized by the Ministry of Science, Technology and Productive Innovation.[105][106] On 10 July, pharmaceutical corporations Pfizer and BioNTech announced that the clinical trial for the COVID-19 vaccine BNT162 that was on phase I–II as of the day of the announcement, would begin on early-August in Argentina, soon after the trial began on Germany and the United States. After it would be approved by the ANMAT, the trial would take place at the Central Militar Hospital.[107][108] The trial is made by mRNA constructs and consists of four vaccines, randomized, placebo-controlled, dose-finding and vaccine candidate-selection, and would begin its phase IIb-III after preliminary data from the previous phase were positive.[109][110][111] One month later, Fernández announced that the vaccine produced by the University of Oxford and AstraZeneca (AZD1222) would begin production alongside Mexico after an agreement with the British pharmaceutical company and the biotechnology company mAbxience. Initially 150 million doses of the vaccine would be produced to supply all of Latin America (with the exception of Brazil).[112][113] As of the day of the announcement, the vaccine, consisting of modified chimp adenovirus vector,[114] was entering phase III.[115]
A COVID-19 hyperimmune serum based on equine polyclonal antibodies was developed by Argentine biotech company Inmunova. The antibodies were obtained by injecting a recombinant protein of SARS-CoV-2 in these animals, with in vitro testings demonstrating the ability to neutralize the virus. On 24 July, the trial entered its phase II–III after being approved by ANMAT.[116][117]
On 3 November, President Fernández announced in an interview with Russian news agency that government would receive an initial of more than 10 million doses of the Sputnik V vaccine by as early as December, after it would enter phase III.[83][84][85] Other previously announced vaccines in development would also be acquired to a lesser extent by the government, such as those produced by the University of Oxford and AstraZeneca, Pfizer and China.[86] Government officials also said that the deployment of any coronavirus vaccine in Argentina would not be mandatory.[118]
Public response
During the first weeks of the pandemic, people across the country used to applaud from balconies, terraces and windows of their houses and buildings at 9 p.m., in order recognize the effort and work of health professionals, a demonstration similar to the ones that occurred during the pandemic in Spain and Italy.[119]
Since late-May, a few protestors began to rally in Buenos Aires to demand end of the lockdown, ignoring social distancing rules, and with the call to prioritise the re-opening of Argentina's economy and some conspiratorial overtones, due to the small and medium-size businesses and self-employed workers' economic struggle during this time. Despite the protests, a vast majority of Argentines were supportive of the lockdown, according to polls.[120] Other protests were realized against the government policies to combat the pandemic, corruption and insecurity, and against the bill to reform some elements of the judiciary, but the conspiracy theories about the virus were still present in the protests.[121][122]
Government responses
The government's responses to the pandemic was very well seen, including the mandatory lockdown and strict social distancing measures, resulting in a general better look in the number of cases and deaths than other countries in the region.[123] The measures also brought some concerns with the economic impact that it could cause to the country.[124] Even so, the way that president Fernández and its government handled the country's response to the spread of COVID-19 resulted in the best numbers of public approval since the president's assumption in December 2019.[125] Argentina was among the Latin American countries that earned the best grades for their response to the pandemic, according to a poll conducted in the region, only behind Uruguay and Paraguay.[23]
First measures
On 11 March, the government announced a mandatory 14-day-quarantine to every person that returned to Argentina from highly affected countries such as China, South Korea, Japan, Iran, the United States and all of Europe.[37][38]
On 15 March, it was announced that the government would close its borders for a total of 15 days to non-residents and national parks, and the suspension of public and private school classes in all levels and flights from highly affected countries for 30 days.[19]
On 16 March, the province of Tierra del Fuego was put on lockdown, becoming the first province to do so.[43] The provinces of Chaco, Misiones, Salta, Jujuy, Mendoza and Tierra del Fuego also decided to close their borders on 18 March.[44]
Nationwide measures

Mandatory lockdown
On 19 March, President Alberto Fernández announced a mandatory lockdown to curb the spread of coronavirus. It would take effect from 20 March until 31 March.[7] It was among the strictest measures in the region.[8]
The "preventive and mandatory social isolation" included the following measures:[126]
- Mandatory lockdown for all residents,
- The move of Malvinas Day from 2 April to 31 March,
- Allowance of purchases of foods, medicines and first need products,
- Transit control on the streets by Naval Prefecture, National Gendarmerie and Federal Police,
- Penalties to those that cannot justify their transit on the streets according to the Penal Code,
- Exception of the lockdown to state, health, food production, drugs production and oil industry workers and security forces,
- Creation of a government department that works on the pandemic and economic issues, and
- Guidelines to relieve the situation for non-formal sector.
On 29 March, Fernández announced that the mandatory lockdown would be extended until 12 April.[9]
The announcement of the lockdown was generally well received, although there were concerns with its economic impact in the already delicate state of Argentina's economy, with analysts predicting at least 3% GDP decrease in 2020.[124][127] Image of Fernández increased during the first weeks of the lockdown according to some surveys,[128] but later suffered a slightly decrease on April due to the prolongation of the lockdown.[129][130][131][132][133] The University of Buenos Aires also made a survey, in which most people agreed to the measures taken by the president.[134]
Fernández announced a one-time emergency payment of 10,000 pesos (US$154) to lower-income individuals whose income was affected by the lockdown, including retirees.[135] Because banks were excluded in the list of businesses that were considered essential in Fernandez's lockdown decree, they remained closed until the Central Bank announced banks would open during a weekend starting on 3 April.[136]
Administrated lockdown
On 10 April, Fernández confirmed that the lockdown would be extended until 26 April under a "new phase"[48] with new authorizations available for workers of some services such as banks, among others.[10]
Geographical segmentation
The third phase of the lockdown was announced on 25 April by president Fernández. The lockdown would resume to workers of private construction, medical and dental care, industry production and online commerce, lawyers, and accountants, among others, in some provinces such as Entre Ríos, Jujuy, La Pampa, Mendoza, Misiones, Neuquén, Salta, San Juan, Santa Cruz and Tucumán, with the respective health protocols.[137] Cities with population over 500,000 inhabitants are still under mandatory lockdown due to the communitary transmission of the virus.[49]
Progressive reopening
On 8 May, President Fernández announced alongside the City of Buenos Aires' Chief of Government Horacio Rodríguez Larreta and Buenos Aires Province Governor Axel Kicillof, that the national lockdown would enter its fourth phase throughout all the country (with the exception of the Greater Buenos Aires urban area), allowing the reopening of factories and business. The Greater Buenos Aires zone will maintain the geographical segmentation phase due to the number of cases that are still being registered in the area, but will allow children to go outside accompanied by an adult.[13][138] The lockdown in the Greater Buenos Aires was later extended until 7 June after the number of cases in this area in the previous days showed a big increase.[14][139] Later, on 4 June, the lockdown was extended again until 28 June in the Greater Buenos Aires area after the country just surpassed 20,000 cases.[15] New activities allowed in the area included opening of shops in "low concentration" areas, outdoor walks with children on the weekends, outdoor physical activities from 8 p.m. to 8 a.m., and religious services by streaming, among other measures taken by each municipality.[140]
A survey realised during the first days of May, expresses that the main concern of the surveyed people was the fear of virus contagion (50.9%) instead of the worries of a worsening in the economic situation (49.1%).[141] Also, another survey expressed that 3 out of 10 Argentines believe the WHO reports about the COVID-19 origins.[142]
Lockdown tightening
President Fernández announced on 26 June that the restrictions on movement in Buenos Aires that were previously eased, would be tightened again since 1 July due to a spike in COVID-19 cases on Greater Buenos Aires. This phase of the lockdown would be extended until 17 July.[16] According to Fernández, this urban area saw an increase of 147% of COVID-19 cases, and an increase of 95% on deaths due to the disease during the previous 20 days of the announcement. Fernández also confirmed that 97% of detected cases across the country occur in the Greater Buenos Aires.[143] New restrictions include: public transportation allowed only for essential workers, prohibition of outdoor activities and stronger transit control on the streets. Allowance of purchases of foods, medicines and first need products would be the only activity allowed without any permission.[144]
Lockdown loosening
After the end of the previous phase of the lockdown in Greater Buenos Aires, President Fernández finally announced on 17 July that the lockdown would be gradually loosened in several stages to lead to the return to normality.[17] New activities allowed include individual outdoor recreation activities, opening of local shops, car washers, clothing and footwear stores, hairdressing, waxing, manicure and pedicure shops in all neighborhoods, return of administrative staff to schools, individual prayers in temples (with no more than 10 people on the site), return of dog walkers, opening of libraries (without staying in the place), and return of professional activities, such as lawyers and accountants, at least once a week.[145] Public transportation would still be only allowed for workers in essential areas such as healthcare, security, gastronomy and others.[146]
As the lockdown was due to expire on 2 August, Fernández announced in a press conference on 31 July that the restrictions would continue until 16 August at least, after the country recorded a record daily tally of new cases and deaths on the previous day of the announcement.[60] A few days later, the government decided to ban social gatherings across the country for 15 days amid surge of infections and fatalities.[147] The lockdown was again extended after 147 days (on 14 August), for two more weeks until 30 August.[148] Several cities that experienced a big growth in the number of confirmed cases in the previous weeks were put back into a tighter lockdown. The cities of Tartagal, La Rioja, Chamical, Santiago del Estero and La Banda were expected to join the places that were already with a strict lockdown such as Greater Buenos Aires, Jujuy (Libertador Gral. San Martín, Manuel Belgrano, El Carmen and San Pedro), Santa Cruz (Río Gallegos) and Tierra del Fuego (Río Grande).[149]
On 28 August it was announced that the eased lockdown would be extended again until 20 September. Also, meetings of up to ten people in the open air, maintaining two meters of distance and using a face mask were authorized throughout the country.[63] As the lockdown was due to expire on 20 September, two days earlier President Fernández confirmed another extension of the lockdown for three weeks until 11 October. Local authorities are still in charge of applying new restrictions in each territory.[72]
After three weeks, Fernández announced that due to the epidemiological situation in the weeks prior to 9 October, the lockdown would continue until 25 October with new measures in order to decrease circulation in 18 provinces.[78] Meanhwile, in Buenos Aires new activities such as the gradual return to face-to-face classes, habilitation of domestic service, cultural events, construction and other social and commercial authorizations were announced by Mayor Rodríguez Larreta on the same day.[150]
As the country surpassed the million cases on 19 October,[80] President Fernández announced on 23 October that the lockdown would be extended again for two weeks in the provinces of Chubut, Córdoba, Mendoza, Neuquén, Río Negro, San Luis, Santa Fe and Tucumán, and in Greater Buenos Aires, as these provinces have been accounting for 55 percent of the country's total cases in the previous weeks.[81] Meanwhile, in Greater Buenos Aires the gradual opening of activities would continue in cities with a decrease in the number of daily cases. Openings in internal areas in bars and restaurants, gyms, artisan fairs, public pools, museums and schools were confirmed to apply in Buenos Aires.[151]
Social distancing
On 6 November, Fernández announced that the lockdown would come to an end in Greater Buenos Aires in order to move to the social distancing phase, although it could continue in other provinces until 29 November.[18] This was due to a decrease in the number of cases after eight weeks.[152] Gradual openings would begin to be implemented to all educational levels, restaurants and bars with indoor services and private construction, and outdoor social gatherings would be allowed.[153]
Impact

On 23 March, Argentina's President Fernández asked the president of China, Xi Jinping, for 1,500 ventilators as Argentina had only 8,890 available.[154][155] Previously, President Fernández announced the construction of eight emergency hospitals to deal with the pandemic on mid-March.[156] 2,452 non-hospital beds were made available to patients in the final stage of recovering from the disease from hospitals in the province of Buenos Aires.[157]
During the pandemic, more than 400 health professionals were infected, making the 15 percent of the total confirmed cases as of 19 April. According to the Argentinian Intensive Care Society, there are only 1,350 physicians trained for that specialty. Later the Ministry of Health summoned different health professionals, making that number rise over 3,122. The province of Chaco has the worst rate of health professionals infected, with the 52 percent of the total cases of that jurisdiction.[158]
Argentina's health system is also dealing with a Dengue fever outbreak, with more than 14,000 cases since 29 July 2019,[159] and the worse measles outbreak since the end of its endemic circulation, after 174 cases and a death were confirmed since the last year.[160]
Until 18 July 2020, there were 181,043 confirmed cases of influenza (down 64.4% versus the same period in 2019), 26,323 cases of pneumonia, 24,643 cases of bronchiolitis in children under 2 years (down 84% versus the same period in 2019), and 9,495 cases of severe acute respiratory infections. Regarding the circulation of respiratory viruses, adenovirus, parainfluenza, influenza B and influenza A predominated as of that date. Also, eight deaths from influenza were registered through that date, from which three of them also tested positive for SARS-CoV-2.[161]
Economy
Due to the national lockdown, the economical activity suffered a collapse of nearly 10% in March 2020 according to a consultant firm. The highest drop was of the construction sector (32%) versus March 2019. Every economical sector suffered a collapse, with finance, commerce, manufacturing industry and mining being the most affected. The agriculture sector was the least affected, but overall the economic activity for the first trimester of 2020 accumulates a 5% contraction. It was expected that the extension of the lockdown beyond April would increase the collapse of the Argentinian economy.[162] On March, the primary fiscal deficit jumped to US$1,394 million, an 857% increase year-to-year. This was due to the public spending to combat the pandemic and the drop in tax collection due to low activity in a context of social isolation.[163] On June, industrial production fell 6.6% versus June 2019. This was better than the forecast announced by analysts and a smaller drop than in the previous months since the beginning of the pandemic.[164]
President Fernández announced a 700 billion pesos (US$11.1 billion) stimulus package due to the pandemic, worth 2% of the country's GDP, and have focused on providing increased health spending, including for improvements in virus diagnostics, purchases of hospital equipment and construction of clinics and hospitals; support for workers and vulnerable groups, including through increased transfers to poor families, social security benefits (especially to low-income beneficiaries), unemployment insurance benefits, and payments to minimum-wage workers; support for hard-hit sectors, including an exemption from social security contributions, grants to cover payroll costs; and subsidized loans for construction-related activities; forbearance, including continued provision of utility services for households in arrears; and credit guarantees for bank lending to micro, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) for the production of foods and basic supplies.[165][166][167][124] The country may also have to face its ninth sovereign default in history due to the recession.[168]
Measures also have been aimed at encouraging bank lending through lower reserve requirements on bank lending to households and SMEs, regulations that limit banks' holdings of central bank paper to provide space for SME lending, temporary easing of bank provisioning needs and of bank loan classification rules, and a stay on both bank account closures due to bounced checks and credit denial to companies with payroll tax arrears.[165]
According to a survey, approximately 143,000 SMEs would not be able to pay salaries and fixed costs for the month, even with government assistance, so they might have to borrow or increase their own capital contribution. 35,000 of these companies are considering to close their business.[169]
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) reported that the COVID-19 crisis would plunge Argentina's GDP by 9.9 percent, after the country's economy contracted by 5.4 percent in first quarter of 2020, with unemployment rising over 10.4 percent in the first three months of the year, before the lockdown started.[170][171][172] Other reports also indicate that the economy might shrink between 10% to 12% during 2020.[164]
Argentina's economy contracted a record 19.1% in the second quarter of 2020 versus the same period of 2019 as the pandemic crippled production and demand, though was slightly better than analyst forecasts.[173][174] The previous record was held during the 1998–2002 Argentine great depression, with a 16.3% drop in 2002.[175] The unemployment rate during the second quarter of 2020 jumped to 13.1%, up from the 10.6% rate that was held in the same period in 2019,[176] reaching up to 26% in Mar Del Plata, a tourism-centered city.[177] It was the highest unemployment rate since 2004.[178]
Travel
After announced a mandatory quarantine to every person that returned to Argentina from highly affected countries,[37][38] the government closed its borders, ports, and suspended flights.[19][179] The Argentina 2000 airports signed an agreement with the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation to reimburse 100% of the charges originated by the air cargo that enters the country that are directly or indirectly related to the COVID-19.[180]
Since 1 April, the government allowed the return of Argentine residents stranded abroad, with a maximum of 700 passengers per day. Seven border crossings opened temporarily to allow the repatriation of Argentina's inhabitants.[181] Hotels for local tourism closed too, being only open to people staying in a situation of lockdown though the time it lasts. Several tourism-related cities also saw a massive migration from Argentine residents after the announcement of the national lockdown. It was severely criticized by the government.[182]
According to the International Air Transport Association (IATA), Argentina was expected to loosen its travel ban earlier than the date that was previously announced by the government (1 September).[183] Later, it was announced that the government was planning to authorise foreign flights with a maximum passenger capacity of 70%, as soon as mid-August.[184] By September, government announced regular flights could return on October.[185] Following this travel ban, one of the most strict in the world,[186] airline LATAM Argentina closed definitely on 17 June,[187][188][189] due to "the conditions of the local industry, aggravated by the pandemic".[190]
During the last week of July, flag carrier airline Aerolíneas Argentinas sold over 188 thousand tickets, with the company reporting that 54 percent of passengers bought their tickets to travel from December 2020 to March 2021, while another 27 percent did so to travel between September and November 2020.[191]
On 22 September 2020, low-cost carriers such as Flybondi, JetSmart Argentina, and legacy airline Aerolíneas Argentinas confirmed that they had moved the dates of their flights with 12 October as the expected restart date, while the Ministry of Transport assured that regular domestic flights would resume in November 2020.[192] Two days later, it was announced that American Airlines would resume its daily flights to Miami since 7 October, on a special flights schedule including two weekly flights to Madrid and Santiago de Chile, three flights a month to New York City, four weekly flights to São Paulo, and flights to Lima (three per month) and Asunción (two per month).[193]
The country finally resumed regular domestic flights on 22 October after an interruption of seven months, with protocols requiring passengers to wear face-masks and have travel certificates. Some provinces also require COVID-19 tests with negative result before boarding aircraft or arriving.[194]
Social impact
Argentina was reported to be among the countries in the region whose population adhered to the lockdown the most. Apple reported a decrease of 83 percent on vehicular mobility through April 26,[195] although 4,900 people were arrested across the country for violating the lockdown.[196] According to Google, since the lockdown, people movement in restaurants, shopping centers, cinemas and museums dropped by 86 percent, the presence of mobile phones on public transportation dropped 80 percent, and in offices a 57 percent. Meanwhile, the presence in residential zones increased by 27 percent.[197][198]
Education
Schools and universities closed indefinitely after the president's announcement of the lockdown. In response to the pandemic, classes moved to online distance learning.[199] 14 million students have been affected by the school closures.[200] Later, the government announced that was evaluating how they would open the schools in the future, and that they were working on the distribution of netbooks to students that do not have access to computers, with the criteria for distributing them based on socioeconomic indicators.[201]
On 9 June, the Ministry of Education expressed that 85 percent of students would be able to return to classes in August, though with special hygiene measures in place, but schools in the Greater Buenos Aires area would have to wait until infections in the region begin to drop off.[202] Three months later, on 3 August, the Ministry of Education confirmed that the provinces of Catamarca, San Juan and Santiago del Estero would begin a process of returning to class under a system that would involve dividing students into groups that could attend classrooms in weekly shifts.[203] On that day, schools of Catamarca and Santiago del Estero opened with directive, administrative and teaching personnel from the last years of primary and secondary levels, that were expected to prepare protocols to restart classes on 18 August.[204][205] Over 10,000 students in San Juan became the first to return to face-to-face classes through social distancing on 10 August.[65][66] The Minister of Education, Nicolás Trotta, also announced that classes would end throughout the country in December as expected.[206]
During October, the opening of educational institutions was confirmed by the Government of the City of Buenos Aires. Students of the last years of primary and secondary public schools would be able to assist voluntarily to the institutions, with protocols indicating that there will not be more than 10 people together, with an assistance of between two and four days per week, from one to four hours, in outdoor spaces.[207] Private schools in the City of Buenos Aires were also allowed to return to face-to-face activities since 16 October.[208] One week later, the first case of a COVID-19 positive school worker was confirmed in a school in Barracas, Buenos Aires, where the school had to close due to the protocols.[209] Meanwhile, school activities in the Province of Buenos Aires were also confirmed by governor Kicillof to begin in October in 24 municipalties,[210][211] and finally restarted for senior year students in 15 small districts, while in other 79 bigger districts only "rebonding" school activities were allowed.[212][213] A private report estimated in November that 34% of Argentine students were allowed to attend these "rebonding" school activities, while 1% of them were in fact attending in-person classes at the time.[214][215][216]
In November, the City of Buenos Aires allowed a progressive back to school for all students,[217][218] and then announced that the 2021 school year would start earlier than usual, on 17 February.[219][220] Teachers unions protested the reopening of schools.[220][221][222][223] The Buenos Aires province allowed school activities in 32 bigger districts during November.[224]
Criminality
During the pandemic, robberies and homicide went down during the lockdown in most of the country, and increased again as time passed and some restrictions were lifted. In the City of Buenos Aires, under the strictest lockdown, crime went down a 48 percent during the first quarter of the year, and a 56 percent during July, but violence on those crimes increased.[225] In the Province of Buenos Aires, also under strict lockdown, 5,980 armed thefts were reported during the first 97 days of the lockdown, against 13,878 on the same period of the previous year. Also, 201 murders (16 less than in 2019), and 120 attacks with injured victims (against 197 from the previous year) were reported.[226]
In Greater Buenos Aires, an increase in crimes committed by people with no previous record was seen. They were qualified as "survival crime[s]" by the Minister of Security of the province, Sergio Berni.[225][227][228] To deal with this increase in crime, an "Immediate Response Taskforce" was created for the Federal Police, and gendarmes were deployed in the area.[229] The national Minister of Security, Sabina Frederic, stated that, even though in the first days of lockdown crime had went down a lot, as the health precautions relaxed, crime increased, especially the violence used.[230]
In the Buenos Aires' Atlantic coast, a popular summertime vacation place, there was a wave of thefts against summer houses. This was fueled by the lockdown and how difficult it was for the house owners (most of them from Greater Buenos Aires) to access their properties and reinforce security.[231][232][233]
On September 7, Buenos Aires Provincial Police protests spiked through the province, fueled by having to deal with COVID-19 in the front line, while not being provided any personal protective equipment and earning a monthly minimum wage of 40,000 pesos (about 430 U.S. dollars), with overtime being paid at 50 pesos (2,30 U.S. dollars) per hour.[234][235] Police stopped patrolling, responding only to urgent 911 emergency calls.[236]
Slums
Argentina has a long-standing housing access and slums problem, which was only worsened by the pandemic. Special testing and containment efforts had to be put in place in lower-income neighborhoods, mostly after outbreaks in Buenos Aires (Villa 31 and Barrio Mujica) and Quilmes (Villa Azul and Villa Itatí) shantytowns.[237] These areas, with scarce access to water and ventilation, as well as overcrowding, make complying to the mandatory lockdown difficult and facilitate the COVID-19 rapid spread. The DetectAr testing campaign in Buenos Aires' slums included research of housing conditions and the taking of samples in common areas (such as meal centers) for RT-qPCR tests, which showed high SARS-CoV-2 prevalence.[238] The COVID-19 crisis also increased "land occupations" by social movements, in which they forcefully appropriated lands to establish slums.[239][240] This was also favored by laws suspending evictions as a relief measure for the crisis.[241][242]
It has been estimated that, by September, 4,300 hectares (11,000 acres) of both private and public lands had been usurped in the Buenos Aires Province,[243] the most notable one being located in Guernica, comprising about 100 hectares (250 acres).[244] Housing projects, which had been unfinished for years, were also occupied in some areas.[245] This sparkled political criticism both from the insides of the government, as well from the political opposition, with the Security Minister of the Province of Buenos Aires suggesting that occupations were organized by social movements from inside the governing coalition.[246][247] Justice started investigations on this possible involvement.[248] Some government members initially refused evictions of occupied land,[249] but days later turned into a more critical view.[250] Other sectors of society claimed occupations should not be evicted, and that unused lands should be distributed to the most needed.[251][252]
In the Patagonia region, occupations by people referencing themselves as Mapuches also surged amid the pandemic. One of a 480 hectares (1,200 acres) National Parks area in Villa Mascardi received the biggest national media attention.[253][254] This caused demonstrations of people against the occupation, which ended in the National Minister of Security starting legal complaints against the demonstrators.[255][244]
Public transportation
The government imposed a series of measurements for public transportation (taxis, buses and train services) focused on the hygiene of the units and recommendation of travel only if it's essential.[256] Public transportation services offered a Saturday-schedule until the start of the "administrated lockdown" on 13 April. Since this day, all public transportation services returned to the normal schedules, but still maintaining the hygiene measures to prevent the spread of the virus.[257]
On 4 May, the government announced a new protocol that orders that public transportation will only occupy 60 percent of its capacity. The combis and mini-buses services will also begin to work again since the begin of the mandatory lockdown.[258]
After the use of public transportation in Greater Buenos Aires grew by 60 percent in early June,[259] the government announced new measures to allow only "essential workers" for the use of train, bus and underground services.[260] Train passengers were be forced to reserve seats in order to travel since 29 June.[261] Under the lockdown tightening that came into effect on 1 July, public transportation use in Greater Buenos Aires dropped by 30 percent (around 300,000 passengers) on the first days compared versus the previous week.[262]
On 4 August, the Sarmiento Line of train interrupted its service after COVID-19 cases were detected among its employees.[263] 36 workers tested positive for the virus and 130 people had to be isolated. Since the beginning of the pandemic, the line accumulated 56 confirmed cases of COVID-19 to that date.[264]
Human rights
As for the human rights situation, claims were made on police brutality,[265] an increase of domestic violence,[266] human trafficking,[267] and the right to freedom of movement.[268][269][270][271][272] Particularly, two cases of police brutality received substantial attention on national media: the death of Luis Espinoza, who was killed by the Tucumán Provincial Police during a control of lockdown abidance,[273] and the disappearance of Facundo Astudillo Castro, who was later found dead near Bahía Blanca, after being stopped several times by the Buenos Aires Provincial Police for not complying with the lockdown measures.[274][275] Police involvement in the latter is suspected but has yet not been proven. The UN made claims to the Argentine government on these cases.[276][277]
Mobility was heavily restricted, with strict checkpoints in province's borders, which allowed entrance only on a limited number of cases with a permit.[278][279] Dirt barricades were built in some cities' entrances. This led to cases of citizens not being able to greet a family member on their deathbed despite having the required permits,[280][281] and patients dying due to ambulances not being allowed to enter another province.[282] Some people had to camp in the provincial borders.[283][284] It was estimated that around 8,000 people were stranded trying to access the Formosa Province, which led to a ruling of the Supreme Court of Argentina stating they should be granted access.[285][286] Truck drivers also criticized the roadblocks and lockdown control measures in roads, stating they had to wait for up to 20 hours in police checkpoints,[269] and considering the measures as inhumane, among other reasons, for being unable to make bathroom stops for hours.[287][288]
Commercial flights were restricted from April to the end of October,[289][290] following one of the longest lockdowns worldwide,[291][292] and causing criticism from the International Air Transport Association.[293][294]
Media
Since the start of the national lockdown, broadcast television saw a 30 percent increase of viewership during the week between 17 and 22 March. The networks increased the airtime of talk shows and news programming, while reality shows were still in production.[295][296][297]
A fundraising special show aimed to the Red Cross for supplying hospitals and health centers aired throughout all six broadcast networks (América TV, Televisión Pública, El Nueve, Telefe, El Trece and Net TV) on 5 April. The show, called "United for Argentina", included celebrities and famous people from the Argentine media. Donations reached a total of 87,938,624 Argentine pesos (ARS).[299]
The only telenovela that was airing on broadcast television before the beginning of the pandemic, Separadas (from El Trece), was removed from the schedule after its 19 March airing and production was suspended temporarily.[300] Two months later, producing company Pol-Ka definitely cancelled the show due to "economic reasons", leaving Argentine television without any scripted programming.[301]
The first cases of COVID-19 reached Argentine television in June. The first confirmed case was from El Nueve's sports journalist Guillermo Ferro.[302] Later, three producers from Telefe's El Precio Justo were also diagnosed, making the show to enter on hiatus and schedule reruns to air instead.[303] El Precio Justo's hostess Lizy Tagliani later reported that she was diagnosed positive for COVID-19. Telefe also announced that talk show Cortá por Lozano would be broadcast with the hostess and panelists from their homes as a preventive measure.[304] An employee from América TV was also diagnosed with COVID-19 on 18 June.[305] On 27 June, news channel C5N implemented a protocol to prevent new infections after one of their journalists, Fernanda Arena, tested positive for COVID-19.[306]
Through the beginning of September, several journalists, hosts, crew and famous personalities from television and radio tested positive for the virus. Santiago del Moro, Catherine Fulop, Guido Kaczka, Andy Kusnetzoff, Alejandro Fantino, Baby Etchecopar, Eduardo Feinmann, Nicole Neumann and Maju Lozano were among the people from the Argentine media that have been tested positive.[298]
Sports
On 12 March, FIFA announced that the first two rounds of the South American qualification for the 2022 World Cup due to take place in March 2020 were postponed to later dates.[307] The same day, CONMEBOL announced that the Copa Libertadores would be temporarily suspended.[308] Later, on 17 March, CONMEBOL announced that the 2020 edition of Copa América was postponed to 2021.[309]
On 13 March, the 2020 running of Rally Argentina was postponed.[310] The MotoGP's Gran Premio Motul de la Republica Argentina was also scheduled to take place during the year but was later cancelled on 31 July.[311]
On 15 March, President Fernández announced that, among other measures, he intended to keep football matches ongoing but without audience.[312] The first match suspended by the Argentine Football Association (AFA) was between Club Atlético Independiente and Club Villa Mitre from the Copa Argentina. It was supposed to be played on 17 March, but was moved to 1 April.[313] On that same day, every football category was suspended indefinitely,[314] being the match between Club Atlético Colón and Rosario Central (for the Superliga) the last played, on 16 March.[315]
After months of uncertainty,[316][317] a tentative date for the return of football was announced. It was expected that since July 13, the teams would be able to return to practice after the players, coaching staff and club employees are tested, following the steps that were taken in European football, making the tournament to return on mid-September.[318] Later, on 4 August, the Argentine Football Association announced that after health protocols were approved by the government, practices of the Men's First Division and Women's First Division would definitely return on 10 August, later being joined by the First National on 2 September and the rest of the categories on 7 September.[67][68] Before returning to practice, several clubs such as Boca Juniors, River Plate, Independiente, Racing, San Lorenzo and Vélez Sársfield, among others, tested its players with positive results for COVID-19.[319][320]

Data quality issues
Since 12 March, contrasted data between the numbers reported by the provincial ministries and the total number provided by the national Ministry of Health show differences. This is due to the fact that the ministries are giving their reports at different times throughout the day and also to different criteria regarding the counting of infected: by district of hospitalization or district of residence.[356]
On 27 September, the Ministry of Health of the Province of Buenos Aires (the most populated one) reported more than 3,500 extra deaths that were missed in previous reports. The provincial government called this a "re-categorization", and presented a new data entry system which —according to Provincial Health Minister Daniel Gollán— would avoid future under-reporting and data criticism.[357][358] The deaths were later included in the national report of 1 October.[359]
