The Tamil Nadu government first announced a 14-day lockdown on March 23rd which was later extended to 21 days by the central government. The period should have ended on April 14th but with the new extension, most likely be announced after teh cabinet meeting on Saturday. The curfew extension would mean that the whole of April will be a stay at home and social distancing practice for the TN residents.
