She reiterated that the State's approach is focussed on aggressive testing."The government will pay the full amount for the (Covid-19) testing in private labs," she said. "The strategy is that of aggressive testing. All the contacts (of Covid-19 positive patients) and their secondary contacts, Influenza Like Illness (ILI) and Severe Acute Respiratory Infection (SARI) cases will be aggressively tested," she said.In line with this, she said the number of testing facilities in the State has been increased. A total of 23 testing laboratories have been set up, of which 14 labs are government labs while nine are private laboratories.Rajesh said 49 patients with SARI were tested for Covid-19 on Sunday.

"We have enough RNA testing and PCR kits and will get 90,000 more kits by this week," she said.Six people were discharged on Sunday, bringing the total number of discharged people to 50 in the State.Chennai continues to be the worst affected district with 199 cases, followed by 119 cases in Coimbatore. On Sunday, the highest number of cases were reported in Tirupur which had 35 people testing positive, the health secretary said.This has been the first big spike in the number of cases that has not been attributed to the attendees and their contacts from the ‘single source’ event in Delhi which is being widely understood to be referring to cases stemming from the Tablighi Jamaat conference held in Delhi in March.The State government began using the term 'single source' in their bulletins on Monday to prevent the pandemic from taking on a communal colour.In all, 43,770 people are under home quarantine, 162 in government quarantine facilities and 1,890 people under isolation at hospitals across the state. As many as 10,655 samples have been tested so far.
