Argentina death toll surpasses 10,000 Argentina's coronavirus death toll has surpassed 10,000, as the South American nation struggles to bring its infection rate under control.
There have been 10,129 deaths, with 488,007 confirmed coronavirus cases, according to government data. 
Almost half of the coronavirus tests are yielding a positive result.
Argentina has been under lockdown since March 20, though cases have spiked in recent weeks. 
Some areas of the country, including the capital Buenos Aires, remain under varying levels of quarantine, though some activities, like exercise and outdoor restaurant dining, recently resumed. Mexico records 3,486 new cases, 223 more deaths Mexico has reported 3,486 new confirmed cases of coronavirus infection and 223 additional fatalities, bringing its totals to 637,509 infections and 67,781 deaths, according to updated health ministry data.
The government has said the real number of infected people is likely to be significantly higher than the confirmed cases.  Egypt's total recorded cases hit 100,041 Egypt's total recorded coronavirus cases have hit 100,041, the health ministry said in a statement.
The total death toll from the disease reached 5,541, with 79,008 recoveries, the health ministry added.  China reports 10 new cases China has reported 10 new Covid-19 cases for September 7, down from 12 a day earlier, according to the national health authority.

The commission also reported 13 new asymptomatic infections, down from 17 a day earlier. China does not count symptomless patients as confirmed cases.
The total number of confirmed Covid-19 cases for China now stands at 85,144. The death toll remains unchanged at 4,634. Australia's Victoria state reports 55 new cases, eight deaths Australia's second-most populous state of Victoria has said eight people died from the new coronavirus in the last 24 hours and reported 55 new cases.
Victoria, which has become the Covid-19 hotspot of the country, a day earlier reported nine deaths from the virus and 41 cases, its lowest one-day rise in more than 10 weeks.
The southeastern state, which extended a hard lockdown in its capital Melbourne until September 28, now accounts for about 75 percent of the country's 26,377 cases and 90 percent of its 770 deaths. 
Japan's virus-hit economy shrinks more than expected
Japan's economy has shrunk more than initially estimated in the second quarter as capital expenditure took a hit from the coronavirus crisis, highlighting the challenge policymakers face in averting a deeper recession.
Other data put that challenge in perspective, with household spending and wages falling in July as the broadening impact of the Covid-19 pandemic kept consumption frail even after lock-down measures were lifted in May.
The data underscored the daunting task the new prime minister, to be elected in a ruling party leadership race on September 14, faces in seeking to contain the pandemic while avoiding restrictions on business activity.Source: trtworld.com
