MADURAI: Several government officials and employees and AIADMK functionaries and cadre in Madurai and Tirunelveli underwent Covid-19 test on Wednesday ahead of chief minister Edappadi K Palaniswami’s visit to the two districts to review Covid-19 preparedness on Thursday and Friday, respectively.
In Madurai, more than 100 officials, including the district collector, underwent Covid-19 test.
