“The government led by Chief Minister Edappadi K Palaniswami has been making all efforts to control the spread of Covid-19. Quarantined people are being provided all necessary things at their doorsteps,” he said.
He said that the Pulianthope facility is being monitored by doctors of four government medical colleges.
