Alberto Fernandez, 62, proved positive on Friday, April 2nd.
Fernandez said: I am already isolated, respecting current protocol and following my personal doctor's instructions. ”
I've contacted the people I've met in the last 48 hours to assess if they have symptoms. ”
The president's medical team said it was stable, asmptomatic, with parameters within normal borders.
Fernandez has received both doses of Sputnik vaccine, one in January and the second in February.
In response to the news, Russia's Gamaleya Institute, which developed the Sputnik V vaccine, reiterated the vaccine's high effectiveness by quoting research data published in the medical journal The Lancet in February.
The official account of Sputnik V on Twitter said: ” We are sad when we hear that. Sputnik V is 91.6 % effective against infection and 100 % effective against serious cases. “
It remains unclear how effective Ovid 19 vaccines are in preventing the infection of vaccinated persons.
Argentina was the first country in South America to use the Sputnik V vaccine in December and has ordered nearly 25 million doses.
To date, Argentina has had over 2,383,000 confirmed cases of Covid-19 and 56,106 deaths.
