<span style="color: #222222;">In Tamil Nadu, the total Covid-19 infections have reached almost six lakh 20 thousand with 5489 people testing positive yesterday.<br />''<br />'' The recoveries have surpassed five lakh and 64 thousand. The patients currently under either treatment or home isolation are a little above 46-thousand. State Health Minister Dr C Vijayabhaskar has said the health infrastructure has been augmented adequately to provide quality medical assistance to the patients.<br />''<br />''It is a matter of comfort that the active Covid-19 caseload hovers around 46.5 thousand continuously for quite long in the state. There were fears that the Unlock phase may lead to a resurgence of new cases, but the data shows signs of stability, except in Chennai, where the daily new cases have started exceeding one thousand and three hundred again.<br />''<br />''The state Health Minister Dr C Vijayabhaskar in his recent media interaction pointed out to the talks of a second wave. He said such a situation may be unlikely, and added that the state health infrastructure is capable of facing such a wave of viral resurgence, if there is any.&nbsp;</span><br />
