In Argentina, nine people developed pneumonia – and three patients have already died. The cause of the disease is not known. The health authority is confused.

According to the Argentine health authorities, three people died of “pneumonia of unknown cause”. As the health minister of the northwestern province of Tucumán, Luis Medina Ruiz, announced Thursday, nine cases of the respiratory illness were found in a private clinic there. Eight of the patients were or were clinic nurses. Three of the injured have died since Monday.
