Thiruvananthapuram (Kerala) [India], April 30 (ANI): The Kerala Government Medical Officers Association (KGMOA) has submitted a proposal to the state government requesting a two-week state-wide lockdown to avert similar health crisis faced by states like Delhi and Maharashtra.
The proposal also includes other key proposals also relating to new vaccination guidelines issued by the state government.
In the representation given to state Chief Secretary, KGMOA president Dr G S Vijayakrishnan, "With over 2.5 lakh patients and over 25 per cent Test Positivity Rate (TPR), Kerala is currently on the verge of a large outbreak. Studies show that genetically modified viruses can be transmitted from person to person through the air. It can spread from one patient to hundreds. The most crucial step in cutting the link to this serious spread is to avoid people reaching out to public places and making sure they stay indoors. Realising this scientific fact, a two-week lockdown should be imposed in the state immediately."
