Chennai: For the past few days, the numbers of persons testing positive for coronavirus in Tamilnadu are steadily coming down, while those of getting cured are on a rise.
While government sources maintain that this is a victory to the measures against the spread of Covid-19, health experts opine that more testings are the need of the hour.
Asserting that the number of cases would come down in the State in the next two to three days due to the effective steps taken by the government, a top official said the number of people cured from the disease would also increase and there would be a situation when Tamilnadu would have zero case and be free from corona.
Observing that the impact of corona has come down in the State, going by the reduction in the positive cases during the last three days, due to the joint steps taken by the Central and the State governments, Chief Minister Edappadi K Palaniswami said preventing the spread of the virus in the state was more important and all steps were taken in that direction.
He said Tamilnadu was the only State in the country to have taken expeditious steps by purchasing medical equipment in advance as a precautionary measure even before the advisory came from the Centre.
