Chennai: Chief Minister Edappadi K Palaniswami has urged Collectors to bring down the spread of Covid-19 and the number of cases before Deepavali.
At a review meeting Wednesday, he said, “In some districts, the number of daily cases is above 100. Before Deepavali, it should be brought down to less than 100.
In districts with less than 100 cases, the number should be brought down to below 50. In districts reporting less than 50 cases, it should be brought down to nil. I request district administrations to work towards ensuring that we move to a situation where there is no spread of Covid-19.”
He said Collectors should monitor whether proper treatment is being provided to patients and whether all protocols are being followed.
“Due to concerted efforts taken by the government, Tamilnadu has started limping back to normalcy whereas, the neighbouring States, which were glorified by the Opposition parties, are now witnessing a rise in infection. So, from now on, the Opposition parties should stop their malicious campaign against the government. Frontline staff has worked hard to control the infection and in this effort, many have lost their lives. Keeping these facts in mind, the Opposition parties should stop issuing confusing statements to gain political mileage,” the Chief Minister added.
