Coimbatore district on Sunday reported 109 new cases of COVID-19.
The Health Department said that 117 persons recovered from the disease and the district had 1,242 active cases on Sunday. The district’s toll increased to 2,462 after a 70-year-old woman died of COVID-19 on Friday.
Coimbatore district had a test positivity rate of 1.4 % on Saturday when it reported 112 new cases.

The Centre has rejected reports that the definition of the Aravalli hills was changed to permit large-scale mining, citing a Supreme Court-ordered freeze on new leases. It said a court-approved framework will bring over 90% of the Aravalli region under protected areas and strengthen safeguards against illegal mining. The clarification follows controversy over the “100-metre” criterion used to define hills across states.
