COIMBATORE: Health minister C Vijayabaskar on Saturday said the AIADMK government has succeeded in controlling the spread of Covid-19 in the state and termed it a remarkable achievement.
Speaking at the inaugural function of the 13th edition of Kovai Vizha at the ESI Hospital in the city, he said, “At a time when London and other European countries are in lockdown, we are relaxing. The state government has achieved what the well-developed nations are struggling to achieve.”
The curtains went up for the nine-day carnival with a helicopter showering flower petals on health workers on the hospital premises. Themed around hope and gratitude, the Vizha would feature more than 100 events, most of which would be conducted virtually because of the pandemic situation.
