The Tamil Nadu government has announced free of cost travel in buses for differently abled and transwomen along with a super specialty hospital to commemorate the 97th birth anniversary of former CM M Karunanidhi.
Public health experts say there are no epidemiological reasons to extend the lockdown uniformly across Tamil Nadu to control the Covid-19 pandemic. The number of active cases continued to dip for the seventh consecutive day on Thursday in Tamil Nadu. With 2,80,426 people fighting Covid-19, TN had almost 10% fewer active infections than last week. The dip in daily fresh infections and daily positivity rate continued in Puducherry on Thursday, with the Union territory recording 815 fresh cases. Fear and lack of awareness are driving away tribal people from getting vaccinated for Covid-19. Misinformation on vaccines has spread like wildfire, denting the vaccination drive among the tribal community in the northern parts of Tamil Nadu. Stay with TOI for latest updates:
