Covid-19: TN’s case tally tops 16L, death toll crosses 18k

On a day when Tamil Nadu’s overall Covid-19 case count since March 2020 topped 16 lakh and the death toll crossed 18,000, the state added 33,075 new cases and 335 deaths on Monday. However, Tamil Nadu is conducting only half the number of tests required to control the spread of Covid-19. An average of 1.58 lakh tests a day were held over the past week in Tamil Nadu, while the target, according to the National Institute of Epidemiology, is double this number.
