Coimbatore: The second wave of Covid-19 outbreak is high in the Valparai hills of Coimbatore district. Around 125 people in Valparai have been infected with Covid-19 in the last two months, of which 10 people have died.



There are about 56 estates in the Valparai area and more than one lakh people live here. Covid-19 victims are initially taken to the Valparai Government Hospital where they receive first aid and are sent to the Pollachi or Coimbatore Government Hospital for further treatment.
