They don’t see a stable decline and we don’t know why.
For the next two days, I will visit the Cuddalore and Tiruvannamalai district to review Covid-19 management,” said Minister of Health MA Subramanianian.
“There is a complete fall in the case.
At least 25 districts in the state have reported cases in two digits.
But the fall level has slowed.
This is why we ask the District Authority not to reduce testing.
With more relaxation, people must be careful too, “He said.
The state continues to test at least 1.6 lakh samples every day and its prepositives have inched almost 3%.
While the level of prospitis in Madurai is below 1%, it is slightly above 1% Chennai.
In Kancheepuram, Tiruvallur and Vellore, the level of participation varies from 1.4% to 1.6%.

At least 13 districts report zero death.
Meanwhile, the state was vaccinated by 3.3 lakh people on Friday.
