The latest news is that the state of TN has the highest number of oxygen beds in the entire India.
The health minister of TN Mr. M. Subramaian spoke about how around 8000 beds including oxygen beds, Siddha centres and non-oxygen beds are now empty in Chennai. There is now a shortage of beds in Chennai.
There are as many as 276 RT-PCR testing centres in the state of TN now and every day more than 1.70lakhs samples are being collected. This is the highest in whole India. The Coronavirus cases have been increasing in the rural districts of TN and the drive for vaccination is being intensified there.
In the last 3 days, the vaccination drive picked up speed in TN because the majority of those who received vaccines were in the age groups 18 to 44. Mr. Subramaian later mentioned that TN had received 80lakhs of vaccine doses from the Centre for those more than 45 years of age till now. He hinted that 78lakh doses have been administered in the state of Tamil Nadu.
In the last few days, Coimbatore has been overtaking Chennai with more number of Coronavirus positive cases per day. This has been a huge cause for concern.
