Objective: In this work, in order to establish a better comprehension of the association between Argentina and its neighbor countries’ capacity, and COVID-19 burden during the first 3 months, different indicators were evaluated. Method: We analyzed the association between GHSI, INFORM index and COVID-19 burden (number of confirmed cases and deaths), also the number of tests, lethality and the stringency of Governmental policies were evaluated. Results: Uruguay, Paraguay, and Bolivia started earlier different prevention measures. The number of tests differs, as Chile is the 1 that makes more. Uruguay and Paraguay register fewer positive cases and deaths from COVID-19. The GHS index is led by Brazil, followed by Argentina, and then Chile. However, the INFORM index is led by Uruguay followed by Argentina, while Chile and Paraguay are on par. Conclusion: The countries that took preventive measures earlier and carried out a more tests are the ones that are obtaining the best results against COVID-19.
