CHENNAI: There has been a marginal increase in the number of new Covid-19 infections in Tamil Nadu as 30 people tested positive for the virus on Sunday. Among them, 16 were from Chennai. This included two clusters -- six from a family in Thiruvanmiyur and a Korean family, which had returned from Mauritius after a tour, said state health department authorities.
However, a brisk recovery rate has helped in keeping the number of active cases in the district below 100. At present, 96 patients in Chennai are undergoing treatment for the disease and among them only nine are admitted in hospitalis. The remaining patients with mild symptoms like fever or cold are undergoing treatment at their homes.
