Two people have died and three remain in hospital after being struck down by pneumonia of "unknown origin" in Argentina. A total of six patients in the country have been tested after going down with the mystery illness.
Tests have dismissed the presence of common infections, including Covid, raising worries of the potential for a new disease outbreak. Health officials have confirmed that two people died in north west Argentina, reports the Express.
Doctors, however, have moved to reassure people that the situation was "under control". Argentina's Ministry of Health said the six reported cases involved five health workers and one patient.
