Complete Lockdown In Kerala As Daily Covid Cases Breach 1,000 Mark For First Time

Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan Wednesday said the state government “may have to seriously consider” reimposing a lockdown as over 1,000 fresh cases were reported in the last 24 hours, the highest single-day spike so far in the state.

“We had previously implemented a complete lockdown in the state. We are aware of such viewpoints (complete lockdown). Although it has not been decided yet, I think we will have to consider it,” CM Vijayan said at a press briefing.

1,038 new COVID-19 have been reported in Kerala today, which is the highest single day spike in cases in the state. Out of the new cases, 226 cases have been reported in Thiruvananthapuram. Number of active cases now stands at 8,818,” the CM said today.IE
