Adding that 35% people in the state don't wear masks, Edappadi Palanisamy said that police officers must constantly create awareness and district administration must also ensure it to establish corona free districts.

Further, Edappadi Palanisamy said that TN government's swift actions have helped control the spread of Coronavirus in the state and added that a decision on reopening of schools and colleges will be taken after taking the suggestions of district collectors and a medical team.
