Covid cases rise in Kerala

The grim Covid situation in Kerala shows no signs of abating with the state reporting more number of fresh coronavirus infections.

The state’s test positivity rate continues to be dangerously high while the daily deaths have started climbing after staying low for the last few weeks.

In view of rising Covid cases in Kerala and Maharashtra, the Centre has asked the states to increase testing and vaccination and impose night curfew in regions that are badly affected. It has also assured the states they would be provided more vaccines if required.

The ‘Onam spike’ was reviewed by the Union Home Ministry, focusing on the containment strategy being followed in the state even as the Congress party criticised the alleged mismanagement of the situation by Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan’s government.
