O. Panneerselvam said in a statement, “While it is comforting to know that the spread of the disease in Tamil Nadu is declining and the number of recovering people is increasing, it is heartbreaking that the number of deaths is increasing.
According to statistics, Tamil Nadu ranks third behind the states of Maharashtra and Karnataka in the number of deaths due to corona infection and at least one out of every 100 confirmed cases of corona over the past one month.
The condition has been on the rise for the past 10 days. Although the death toll has dropped, the death toll remains at 460. On May 25, 34,285 people were diagnosed with corona, while the death toll was 468. That is, 1.366 percent of the victims died. This percentage gradually increased, and by June 4, 2 percent of the victims had died.
That is, 22,651 people were infected with the corona and 463 died. Of these, 253 were from the Chennai region and the western region. That is, more than 50 percent of the victims are from these two zones. It is a matter of concern that the number of deaths is increasing in this situation where there is no shortage of oxygen in this situation where beds with oxygen facilities have been increased.
Therefore, the Chief Minister should pay special attention to this. At a time when corona infections are declining, the number of recovering people is increasing, oxygen shortages have been eliminated and bed facilities have increased, I urge you to identify the causes of the increase in deaths and take steps to reduce them, ”O. Panneerselvam said in a statement.
