Before COVID-19, Argentina’s health care workers were working multiple jobs to make ends meet. Now some, fearing for loved ones, have moved into hotels, or sent their children to stay with relatives. By Debora Rey and Natacha Pisarenko

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina — Even before the new coronavirus hit, Argentina’s health care workers were struggling, most of them often working more than 12 hours a day at multiple jobs to make ends meet amid the country’s overheated inflation.

Dr. Matías Norte, a surgeon who specializes in cancer cases but is also helping treat COVID-19 cases at the three hospitals where he works, sometimes has to drive an hour to get home to the apartment he shares with his wife, Silvina Cáceres Monié, in the capital. A kiss and embrace must wait until he showers.

Cortes, who puts in an average of 17 hours a day at two hospitals in Buenos Aires, worries constantly about bringing the virus home.
