Argentina registered 11,307 new COVID-19 infections and 198 more deaths from the disease in the last seven days, raising its total caseload to 9,072,230 and national death toll to 128,542, the Ministry of Health said Sunday in its latest report.

The South American country is experiencing a "much better" epidemiological situation thanks to people's efforts and the immunization campaign against COVID-19, said Health Minister Carla Vizzotti.

"We are in autumn, winter is coming and the number of cases is likely to increase. We need to vaccinate everyone so that they are protected and can contribute to easing the epidemiological situation," the official said.

Argentina has so far administered 98,176,900 vaccine doses, and 17,261,339 people have received a booster dose, according to the ministry's Public Vaccination Monitor.
