Chennai: For the second day in a row, not one person in Chennai who gave up on Covid-19.
Besides Chennai, 29 other districts in Tamil Nadu including Coimbatore reported no Covid-19 death on Sundays.
So far, a total of 35,783 have died of viruses in the state.
These include 15 deaths reported on Sundays.
For more than two months, the fatality ratio of the state case has not dropped.
It has floated around 1.3%.
This means for every 100 confirmed cases, at least one dies because of Covid-19.
But the number of fresh infections continues to decline in Tamil Nadu.
On Sunday, 1,329 was tested positive for viruses.
Although Chennai reported the maximum number of cases (164), the district’s testing level (TPR) the district remained unchanged at 0.8% this week, which was below the average state of 0.9%.
Coimbatore, which stands second on Sunday infection chart with 157 fresh cases, has a TPR which is slightly higher 1.3%.
Erode is another western district with similar TPR.
Namakkal (64 new cases) in this region has 2% highest TPR on Sundays.
“Because vaccine coverage increases, the infection rate has been reduced in 18 Tamil Nadu districts compared to last month and many of which were in West Nadu Tamil Nadu”, said J Radhakrishnan, Secretary of the Public Health.
However, those who suffered from fever must immediately contact the nearest hospital instead of treatment themselves, he told reporters on Sunday.
But on Flipside, the number of samples tested at TN Labs has dropped last month.
Previously, it was above 1.55 lakh a day.
But it fell to 1.4 lakh now.
