When will this government realise that this would only make people in other districts feel a false sense of security,” said Mr. Haasan. He said that the State government should have implemented widespread testing in Tamil Nadu. “Had they conducted widespread testing for COVID-19 in all districts, people wouldn’t think that it was enough to leave Chennai not to contract COVID-19. Criticising the Chief Minister and his Cabinet Ministers, Mr. Haasan said they had imposed a lockdown once again in Chennai after relaxing the restrictions without any thought. Mr. Haasan pointed out that the State government didn’t listen to experts when they said that testing should be increased and continued to test only 300-400 people in the beginning.
