Chennai: DMK Lok Sabha MP Kanimozhi, who was undergoing treatment at a hospital after testing positive for COVID, on Tuesday evening cast her ballot by wearing the Personal Protective Equipment kit in the polling held to elect the 16th Tamil Nadu Assembly.

A number of corona infected patients also voted during the last one hour from 1800 hrs to 1900 hrs across the State.

M. Kanimozhi, who is also the DMK’s women’s wing secretary, came in an ambulance from the hospital and voted with the PPE kit on.

Ahead of the arrival of people infected with the corona, all personnel on duty in polling stations donned the PPE kits and facilitated their voting.

The premises were sanitised later.
