The Kerala government on Saturday decided to continue the night curfew and Sunday lockdown across the state as corona cases continue to surge in the state. The decision was taken after Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan held a review meeting with the cabinet ministers.
“The COVID review meeting, which was held today, has decided to continue night curfew and lockdown on Sundays across the state,” Kerala CM Pinarayi Vijayan said in a statement.
The state on Saturday reported 29,682 new COVID-19 cases, 25,910 recoveries and 142 deaths today. The chief minister said that active cases stand at 2,50,065 and death toll at 21,422 in the state. However, the positivity rate stands at 17.54%.
The Kerala government has already announced that it will not impose full lockdown in the state. The state government on Friday said that the full lockdown in the state will cause heavy loss to the economy.
