Tamil Nadu government announced complete lockdown for two weeks starting May 10 to control the spread of COVID-19.
Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) supremo MK Stalin, who was sworn-in as the Tamil Nadu Chief Minister on Friday, immediately took charge of his duties and signed an order to provide Rs 4,000 to each COVID-19 family in the state as “Corona relief.”
He has promised to give the first installment of Rs 2,000 in May. Stalin also announced the state government will bear expenses for all corona-related treatments to state government insurance cardholders in the empanelled private hospitals.
These were the first set of orders that the minister passed soon after taking the oath at Raj Bhavan.
This is a developing story.
