Tamil Nadu records nil Covid deaths after two years

CHENNAI: After a period of 680 days, Tamil Nadu recorded zero Covid-19 deaths on Friday. The last time the state reported zero fatalities was on April 31, 2020. Sixteen of the 38 districts in the state had no new cases and eight others reported one fresh case each. Friday's state tally stood at 112. At the end of the day, after discharging 327 patients, there were 1,461 patients in the active registry.

"Deaths fell slowly compared to fresh infections. But the fall was steady. We have fewer people in hospitals and ICU now than ever," said health secretary J Radhakrishnan.
