CHENNAI: In the past seven days, Tamil Nadu added 1,464 new Covid-19 cases including the 255 cases it reported on Monday. The weekly sum of cases has nearly tripled since May 30 when the sum of cases was 451.
“That week, Tamil Nadu was reporting between 59 and 89 cases a day,” said director of public health Dr T S Selvavinayagam. The weekly sum of cases crossed 1,000 marks on June 10 after three months. “Cases were declining steadily after the third wave, but newer variants have triggered the surge again. It started with educational institutions and now we are seeing clusters of cases in workplaces, families, and apartment complexes,” he said.
