Today seems to be a better day for Tamil Nadu, with the number of new COVID-19 Corona Virus positive cases, coming to be within 50! Every evening, it has become a norm for the people of Tamil Nadu to wait for the Press Meet from Tamil Nadu Government officials to release the official numbers of the COVID-19 Novel Corona Virus Pandemic. We have today's numbers for you! Tamil Nadu has had just 33 new cases of COVID positive being reported in the state. Of this, 15 new cases have been identified in Chennai alone, taking the district's total to 373. There have been 5 new cases in Tanjore, 4 in Madurai, 2 each in Ariyalur and Tiruvallur and 1 each in Kancheepuram, Dindigul, Tiruvannamalai, Tuticorin and Villupuram!

There has not been any new Corona Virus related death in the state, leaving the overall death toll at 18 itself. On the positive front, we have had 27 new cases of recovery with the total number of recovered people going up to 662. It would be good to see the numbers coming down over the coming days, before stopping altogether. Flattening the Curve is important and it can only be achieved if we stay home and stay safe! The Indian PM Narendra Modi is planning to have a video conference with the Chief Ministers of all the states on April 27th (Monday) morning, to discuss about the nation-wide lockdown. Stay tuned for updates...
