The state also reported 11 casualties today, while 610 people got discharged after recovering from COVID-19.
Being the second worst-hit state in the country after Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu currently has 11,345 active patients and 208 people have succumbed to the deadly virus so far. However, on a positive note, 14,316 people have been cured till date.
Earlier on Sunday, the state government extended the coronavirus lockdown in the state until 30 June. Despite the centre’s decision to allow opening up religious places, they would continue to remain shut in the state.
However, some relaxations have been given in opening up public transport in the fifth phase of the lockdown that started from 1 June, while more employees will be allowed at workplaces. Buses will not be run in hotspot regions such as Chennai, Kancheepurm, Tiruvallur and Chengalpet districts.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
