Now, suddenly there has been an increase in the number of Covie-19 cases in Chennai and this has been worrying many is known. In this scenario, GCC or Chennai Corporation would be increasing the contact tracing among close and extended family members of the Covid-19 positive patients.

It was brought out by some sources belonging to GCC that currently  nearly 6000 samples are being traced and these samples have been taken from Chennai alone.

Travelling to other states in India as well as to other foreign countries has been responsible for an increase in the number of Coronavirus cases now. This was as per a senior officer from GCC. There are many people who attend various public gatherings such as weddings, meetings, workplaces, markets etc. They have been responsible for spreading this deadly infection.

The senior officer then spoke about how zones like Tiruvottiyur and Thiru VI Ka Nagar have got lesser contacts and hence the need to increase. The need now is to trace atleast 10 contracts of Covid-19 positive patients and the instructions have been issued by the state health department to GCC regarding this contact tracing. The main aim was to ensure that all positive Covid cases were contacted on a daily basis.

In the coming days, there would be a door to door vaccination campaign for the residents and this was as per the instructions given by GCC to the health officers. It is a fact that nearly 12lakhs of people have not yet received their second vaccination doses in Chennai.
