The Tamil Nadu government has been taking several measures to contain the spread of the Wuhan Virus and is leaving no stone unturned.
On Saturday (July 11), Tamil Nadu Minister Ma Foi K. Pandiarajan held a consultative meeting with a group of Siddha doctors at the Siddha Central Research Institute in Chennai’s Arumbakkam.
He said that the traditional method indigenous to Tamil Nadu has been very effective in treating the patients affected by the Wuhan virus and added that the Tamil Nadu government is committed to improving on the Siddha treatment. He mentioned that the Chennai High Court has given a chance to the government to prove it.
In light of this, the Central government has approved 7 Siddha medical research for treating the Wuhan Virus.
The Siddha treatment is being administered in COVID care centres in Tiruvannamalai and Vellore. A COVID care centre has also been set up at the Ambedkar Arts College in Vyasarpadi lying in the Tondiarpet zone which started treating patients from June 24 using the ancient method indigenous to Tamil Nadu.
80% of those affected with Wuhan virus in Tondiarpet zone have recovered.
