Kerala is not recovering from the grip of the Corona pandemic. Once again more than 20 thousand cases have been found in the state. On Monday, there was the hope of some relief after getting 13 thousand cases in the state, but it broke on Tuesday. 148 people have also lost their lives. To control the situation, the team of experts sent by the Center has asked the state government to expedite the vaccination and conduct a sero survey at the earliest.
In the last 24 hours, more than 23 thousand new cases were found in the state.
It has been informed by the Government of Kerala that 23,676 new patients were found in the state on Tuesday and 15,626 patients became healthy. The number of active cases in the state has gone up to 1,73,221. The infection rate in the state stood at 11.87 percent on Tuesday. A maximum number of 4,276 cases have been found in Malappuram. The Center had sent a six-member team to help the local administration in controlling the situation in the state. This team visited the six districts where the maximum number of new cases are being found.
Suggestion for conducting sero survey
The team asked the state government to conduct a serosurvey, which would be able to know what percentage of people have been infected so far. This will help in formulating a precise strategy to control the infection. Meanwhile, the National Center for Disease Control (NCDC) has expressed serious concern over the rising number of cases in the state. He has also expressed the possibility of infection of more than half of the state's population.
