Thirty-nine persons tested positive for COVID 19 in the central region on Saturday. Three more patients, two from Thanjavur and one from Tiruchi district, succumbed to the viral infection as per the bulletin issued by the State Health Department.
Tiruchi reported the maximum number of 11 fresh cases on Saturday followed by 10 each in Thanjavur and Karur districts. Three persons tested positive in Tiruvarur and two each in Pudukottai and Perambalur district. One fresh case was reported in Ariyalur. Nagapattinam and Mayiladuthurai reported no fresh case.
As speculation over the continuation of Minister for Scheduled Tribes Welfare B. Nagendra in the Cabinet persisted, with the demand for his resignation raised by the BJP in connection with the ₹94 crore scam at the Maharshi Valmiki Scheduled Tribes Development Corporation, his Cabinet colleagues came to his defence on Thursday.
