Thiruvananthapuram:
The Kerala government has eased Covid-19 related lockdown restrictions imposed despite the fact that over the last week, the state has accounted for 50 per cent of the country s COVID-19 cases.
The decision was taken after a Central team that toured the state criticised its contact tracing as weak while noting that home quarantine is increasing the spread of covid in the southern state.
From now on there will be no lockdown on Saturday. Another major change is the opening of shops in tourist places. The move is seen as the Kerala government s effort to balance public health and livelihood concerns.
