CHENNAI, MAY 13

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Edappadi K Palaniswami has indicated that the ongoing lockdown could be lifted “gradually” and sought people’s cooperation to restore normalcy post-lockdown here on Wednesday.

Listing the government’s steps to resume economic activities, besides ensuring that the people did not suffer during the lockdown, he also stressed people’s cooperation was important.

“People should extend total cooperation (to the government).. following the kind of cooperation extended by you, the lockdown can be withdrawn gradually,” he said.

The Chief Minister made this remarks at a review meeting of district collectors and other officials chaired by him to take stock of the COVID-19 prevention activites at the Secretariat here.

Tamil Nadu is one of the worst affected states in the country vis-a-vis coronavirus, with the number of cases standing in excess of 8,000. His statement also comes a day after Prime Minister Narendra Modi said there will be a fourth phase of the lockdown, which will be very different from the earlier three phases.

The third phase of the lockdown is scheduled to end on May 17. The Chief Minister further said the government’s efforts have resulted in people having access to essential items, even as it was reaching out to various sections of the society like guest workers, destitutes and the poor through distribution of dry ration as well as providing food through Amma Canteens and community kitchens.

Seeking to give a fillip to economic activities, the government had set up a high-powered committee (under the Chief Secretary) to attract businesses “moving out of certain countries,” he recalled.

Further, due to the coordinated efforts of various arms of the government, including the medical professionals, the pandemic was under control, he said, adding Tamil Nadu had the lowest death rate of 0.67 per cent while its discharge rate stood at 27 per cent. Referring to the high spike in daily virus numbers in the recent days, he attributed it to increased testing of samples.

Experts have said that the pandemic will “slightly go up” before going on a declining trend, Palaniswami said, adding there was no need for the people to panic.

The state had a total of 53 testing centres. Even those undergoing treatment in hospitals will soon return home and the government was with them, he added. As on Tuesday, Tamil Nadu has reported a total of 8,718 coronavirus cases with 61 fatalities.
