In the state of TN, there are many districts having people who are affected by Corona virus. The important districts like Puduktottai, Dharmapuri and Krishnagiri have zero corona virus positive cases till now.
It is known that the western zone belonging to TN has emerged as hot spot cluster having one fourth of total Corona virus cases in TN. The amazing point here is both Dharmapuri district and Krishnagiri district (western zones) are located in the interstate border and is considered vulnerable due to large scale cross border migration.
As per some officials of health and revenue departments, Pudukottai district present in central zone is seemingly immune to novel Corona virus. Combination of both prudent measures and luck has played a huge role in making Pudukottai district with zero positive cases.
Important information that has come out is many people belonging to Dharmapuri district and Krishnagiri district attended Tablighi Jamaat meet in New Delhi. The truth is people from these 2 districts attended this meet in February and not in March whereas those from Salem or Coimbatore districts took part in the Tablighi Jammat meet in March.
Dharmapuri collector, Malarvizhi spoke about how just two persons out of 16 went to Delhi meet in March and how they were traced quickly. These persons were made to stay back in Delhi itself. She added that those who attended February meet were traced and quarantined.
It was brought out by deputy director of health, B.R. Gemini that many returned from abroad to Dharmapuri and all of them were asymptomatic. It must be taken into note that as many as 668 persons including those from abroad returned in March. These persons have been home quarantined and they are about to complete their 28 day quarantine time. Point is 900 odd persons were tested for Corona virus in Dharmapuri and the results have turned negative.
