Stalin to hold review meeting with District Collectors and health officials
With an uptick in daily cases in TN, Chief Minister MK Stalin is scheduled to chair a meeting with Collectors and district health officials on Monday, said Health Minister Ma Subramanian during his visit, along with Health Secretary Radhakrishnan, to IIT-M on Sunday.
There are 5 new cases at the institute and in total, 60 positive cases reported, out of the 2,013 samples tested for COVID-19. The minister said that only about 2.9 per cent of the samples have been tested positive and people need not panic.
“All those affected are stable. 40 people are not having any symptoms, while 20 others have mild symptoms,” said Ma Subramanian. “Infection is expected to have spread through college mess. So now, food is provided to their respective rooms in the hostels.”
People are not wearing masks and remain complacent, which leads to the easy spread of infection, he pointed out, and stressed on the importance of vaccination.
