Tamil Nadu to impose lockdown-like restrictions from April 10
During recent meetings chaired by Chief Secretary Rajeev Ranjan on April 5 and 7, health and medical experts observed that restrictions should be intensified across the state to control the spread of the disease, in addition to taking effective control measures.
The government also pointed out that the imposition of some restrictions was inevitable as the infection spread rapidly. It also points out that in India, Covid-19 cases are on the rise in Maharashtra, Punjab, Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat, Karnataka, Chhattisgarh and Delhi.
In Tamil Nadu, the infection is on the rise in some districts due to activities, festivals, meetings, etc., and the failure of people to wear masks in public places and the failure to follow standard operating procedures in the workplace.
Field level teams will be formed for each zone to monitor the situation with a view to controlling the spread of infection within the limits of Chennai Corporation. Similarly, monitoring committees will be formed in all districts.
A team of police, local bodies and health officials will be set up to monitor the movement of people around the clock to prevent the movement of persons in the control zones. In addition to continuing control activities, volunteers who focus on meeting the essential needs of the people living in the control zones will also be involved.
