Chief Minister V. Narayanasamy said that lockdown curbs would be relaxed in places within containment zones by isolating the immediate areas around patients undergoing quarantine after recovery from COVID-19.
Addressing a press conference, he said in containment zones like Ariyankuppam, Moolakulam or Thiruvandarkoil, where such patients were undergoing the 28 days of mandatory post-treatment quarantine, it would be unfair on residents of whole communities to be deprived of resuming economic activity.
"We will lift lockdown curbs in a judicious manner after isolating the areas around such patients," he said.
