BUENOS AIRES, Aug. 4 (Xinhua) -- The Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) on Tuesday touted Argentina's response to the novel coronavirus pandemic, saying it was timely and consistent nationwide.

"Argentina has been an example of good practice in taking action very early. It was even among the first to order a total lockdown in March, when it still had very few cases," the director of PAHO's Department of Communicable Diseases, Marcos Espinal, told Xinhua during a videoconference.
