A MYSTERIOUS NEW PLAGUE Could be on the Way as Two People From Argentinia Have Died From a Strange PNEUMONIA of “UNKNOWN ORIGIN.” The WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION (WHO) is Monitoring This Mysterious New Plague.

A MYSTERIOUS new outbreak could be on the way, as two people in Argentina have died from pneumonia of “unknown origin”.

So far, a total of six patients in Argentina have undergone testing after being struck by a mystery illness, as three patients are currently still hospitalised. Tests ruled out the presence of most common infections, like COVID-19, sparking concerns of a new disease outbreak. Health officials on Wednesday announced that two people in northwest Argentina died this week from a form of severe pneumonia of “unknown origin”.

While this disease is puzzling doctors, they assured that the situation was “under control”.

According to Argentina’s Ministry of Health, the six reported cases are five health workers and one patient who started showing symptoms between August 18 and August 22.

Three of the patients are still in the hospital, while one is in a “satisfactory condition” and has been isolating at home, according to health officials.
