Tamil Nadu Chennai News Live Updates: Tamil Nadu Minister for Medical and Family Welfare Ma Subramanian said the government would hold the fourth edition of the Mega Vaccination Camp through 50,000 vaccination camps on October 10. Talking to reporters, Subramanian said the three mega vaccination camps conducted by the government surpassed the projected number of vaccinations.
“Today (Tuesday) we received 9 lakh vaccines and vaccines are being administered to people as vaccination camps were not held yesterday,” he said.
Based on the orders of Chief Minister M K Stalin, local administration staff would be involved in conducting ‘gram sabha’ meetings on October 2 and so the mega vaccination camp would not be held on that day, he said. “We will hold the fourth Mega Vaccination Camp on October 10 through 50,000 camps across the State.”
Meanwhile, after over a year and a half, physical classes for students from class 1 to 8 would resume in schools with effect from November 1, the Tamil Nadu government said on Tuesday. Following a meeting chaired by Chief Minister M K Stalin at the Secretariat to review the ongoing measures to tackle the Covid-19 pandemic, the government said the ban in respect of social, political, cultural and religious congregations would continue to be in place.
