Argentina and the Coronavirus: the LONGEST QUARANTINE in the WORLD? - VisualPolitik EN

Argentina is facing a kind of perfect storm: a pandemic, an economic crisis, a loan default, and an unprecedented political confrontation. Things in the Land of Tango just seem to go from bad to worse.

In the face of the COVID-19 pandemic, the government of Alberto Fernández was one of the most energetic and quickest in taking measures to combat the spread of the coronavirus. However, the result has been the opposite of what was expected: Argentina is set to extend what is perhaps already the longest quarantine and social distancing strategy in the world. Despite this, the country’s infection rate is on the rise.

So, what's going on? Why do things seem to be going so wrong in this country? How could the coronavirus affect Argentina’s already troubled economy? In this video, we try to get closer to the answers.
