Chennai: Tamilnadu Health Secretary Dr J Radhakrishnan has urged the public to strictly adhere to the protocols set in place for the coming two weeks, as Covid-19 cases are sharply rising in the State.
“The next two weeks are very crucial,” he said. He, however, ruled out the imminent possibility of a Covid-19 lockdown being reintroduced in the State.
“The second wave of Covid-19 is not just an issue for Tamilnadu but for the country. We must restrict unnecessary travels and visits to public places. Covid protocols must be strictly adhered to for the next two weeks,” he told the media.
Stating that vaccination will prevent the severity of the infection, Radhakrishnan said the inoculation drive against Covid-19 has picked up in the last two days and insisted that eligible people must make use of the opportunity.
