‘If COVID-19 cases surge, we will look into making masks mandatory, especially in public places – Tamil Nadu Health Minister Ma Subramanian.’
The minister said this while interacting with the mediapersons after inspecting the COVID-19 mock drill at the Rajiv Gandhi Government General Hospital. Asked why the state was not insisting on COVID-19 protocols, while some other states have already implemented them, the minister said: "In Tamil Nadu, the number of daily cases has touched only 350 while in other states it has touched 500 and hence such a decision would be taken based on the surge in cases."

The minister said if Tamil Nadu witnesses a surge like that of Kerala or Maharashtra, COVID-19 norms would be implemented in public places.He further said that a majority of those who are getting infected by COVID-19 are in home isolation, adding "very few are being hospitalised".

Test your Knowledge on Coronavirus (COVID-19)
Coronavirus is a large positive-strand RNA virus that is surrounded by a protein envelope. The virus obtains its name from the S protein spikes on its surface, which resemble a crown. The overall pattern of increasing coronavirus cases is shown to spike up with the “second wave” of COVID-19.
With spiking effects of the second wave of coronavirus, the best way to keep it at bay is to follow COVID-appropriate safety practices like wearing a mask, regularly cleaning your hands, and coughing into a bent elbow or tissue along with physical distancing (6 feet about 2 arm's length), that may help evade the severity of COVID-19 infection.
