Coronavirus cases may peak in Argentina sometime between the end of June and beginning of July despite cases and virus-related deaths increasing at a faster pace, according to Health Minister Gines Gonzalez Garcia.
“We believe those weeks could be the weeks with the most cases,” Gonzalez told Bloomberg News in an interview Thursday, referring to the last week of June and first of July. He cautioned that it’s difficult to make any projections.
