Minister Ma Subramanian stated that work is also continuing on the Chief Minister's directions to expand the number of tests from 4000 to 11,000 as soon as possible.
Coimbatore : Union Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya conducted a video conference at the Collectorate in Coimbatore to discuss the covid-19 issue. MA Subramanian, Tamil Nadu's Minister for Medical and Health, was also in attendance.

Later, speaking to media, Minister MA Subramanian stated: Kerala has been the most severely affected. In Tamil Nadu, 273 incidents were reported in the last 24 hours. All medical facilities in Tamil Nadu would be covered on March 10 and 11, according to Union Government rules. This will be used to monitor the availability of disaster-related beds, medicines, and oxygen stocks.
At international airports, 2% of foreign passengers are randomly screened. There was one instance for two to three days till a week ago, but now there are 10-20 cases per day. As a result, we have asked the Union government to increase RTPCR tests for international passengers. ESI Hospital in Coimbatore has 1000 beds available, and the government hospital has more than 100. On standby in Tamil Nadu are 24,061 oxygen concentrators, 260 PSA plants, and 2067 MT oxygen storage systems.
All of the oxygen, beds, and medications are fully stocked. While 4,000 patients are now being tested for RTPCR in Tamil Nadu, we have already encouraged hospitals to test those who present with flu and cold-like symptoms.
On the Chief Minister's directives, work is also ongoing to expand the number of exams from 4000 to 11,000 as quickly as feasible. While there is no reason to be overly concerned about the ongoing incidents, it is critical to be vigilant. People with co-morbidities, such as co-morbidities, should protect themselves by wearing masks in public. Kerala has ten times more cases than Tamil Nadu. Masks will be required in hospitals and medical facilities beginning on April 1.
People suffering from a cold or fever should avoid going out. Seclude yourself. It is imperative. In Tamil Nadu, 52,568 influenza fever camps were held, with over 21,5000 persons benefiting.
Notify if there are no doctors available at night in government headquarters hospitals. Steps will be taken in that direction. The MRP test will be held on May 25th and 26th. Those who have passed will thereafter be appointed to the open positions.
In response to an inquiry about the Governor's stance on the neet exam, the minister stated that the governor sent it from here. The President, the Union Health Department, and the Higher Education Department have all requested clarifications for Tamil Nadu. We're also continually sending clarifications. As a result, we anticipate a satisfactory solution in this regard.
In each district, the process of choosing doctors and medical personnel is currently underway under the direction of the District Collector. The chief minister will launch more than 500 hospitals after these renovations are likely finished in 10 to 15 days. MA Subramanian, the minister, stated. On this occasion, Kranthikumar Padi, Prathap, and other individuals were there from the Coimbatore District Collector's office.
