56 new COVID 19 cases have been reported in Tamilnadu today. This takes the state's tally to 1,323 cases at present.

The last three days had seen a dip in COVID 19 cases raising hope that the tide was turning at last. However, today's results have brought more disappointment than relief.

The number of people discharged so far in the state stands at 283. Since the coronavirus outbreak began, 15 people have died in Tamilnadu.

Currently, the state capital Chennai continues to top the list with the maximum number of cases at 228.
