Over the past two months, daily cases in Tamil Nadu have been hovering in the sub-6,000 range and Chennai has been witnessing about 1,200 cases a day. Tamil Nadu is among the few states that still haven’t done away with the e-pass system for travel. It was from August 17 that the state government had started instantly approving, offering e-passes for inter-district travel without scrutiny. However, the state has been quite rigid on continuing with the e-pass system for both inter-district travel and inter-state travel (pass issued after scrutiny). Currently, Tamil Nadu has allowed companies to work with 75 per cent staff in attendance, hotels to function with 50% dine-in capacity, E-commerce delivery of all items, among others.
