More stringent measures in the offing
Citing the prediction of medical experts that the daily COVID-19 case count would reach its peak in the next few weeks, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin said on Friday that the lockdown might be extended further with more stringent measures.
Speaking to reporters here, he said it was with the aim of breaking the chain of transmission that his government imposed a total lockdown from May 10. The measure started showing results in Chennai and some other places. But fresh cases were increasing in 10 other districts, he said, adding that medical experts had warned of fresh cases increasing further.

Not just Covid, India’s junior doctors are also struggling with pay cuts & delayed salaries Sravasti Dasgupta © Provided by The Print
New Delhi: To tackle the massive second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic, Delhi’s Safdarjung Hospital one of the country’s largest central government-run facilities is recruiting junior and senior resident doctors on a contractual basis. They are to be deployed at a new 46-bed makeshift Covid facility expected to come up in the hospital premises.
While Safdarjung Hospital has invited applications for 96 posts, the salary on offer has outraged resident doctors, who say the stipend on offer is Rs 25,000-35,000 less than what they would get before the pandemic. They also say that the circular is only the latest example of the government’s insensitivity to the financial instability that doctors are facing since Covid-19 struck.
