CHENNAI: Chief minister M K Stalin on Saturday hinted at the possibility of extending total lockdown sans relaxations against the backdrop of the state surpassing 36,000 fresh Covid-19 cases a day.
Stalin was addressing a meeting of legislature parties at the secretariat, soon after holding a session with medical experts. The total lockdown imposed by the state ends on May 24.
“The experts unanimously suggested that imposition of total and aggressive lockdown sans any relaxations alone would contain the spread. Got similar views during my visit to the districts as well. Given the circumstances, the government has to decide on imposing total lockdown without relaxations,” the chief minister said.
The Covid-19 spread had not been brought under control yet but declined, Stalin said.
