Marriages, family functions and travel a cause for concern, he says in communication to officials
As fresh infections fell under 500 for the first time in eight months on Thursday, Health Secretary J. Radhakrishnan said there should be no room for complacency as COVID-19 clusters from marriages, family functions and travel had surfaced in some parts of the State.
“We do not want complacency as we still have marriage and function-based clusters in districts such as Coimbatore, Thanjavur and Tiruchi and a cluster due to travel in Tiruvannamalai,” he said. In a communication to Collectors and the Commissioner of the Greater Chennai Corporation, he said Coimbatore and Chennai and neighbouring districts showed an increase from the previous day’s count, on and off, while the average for the week did not show any major change.
