Children under the age of 16 in Buenos Aires are now allowed ​to venture out​side their homes - ​for one hour, ​on one day of each weekend.

While Argentina eased certain restrictions this week, the number of positive cases of COVID-19 continues to grow, particularly in areas like Buenos Aires City and Province.

Authorities have said ​a surge in new cases could ​prompt them to tighten restrictions once again, and force the nation's children ​back inside their home​s.
