“Allegations that Kerala government is not giving COVID data to the Centre are absolutely wrong. We've been sending data since 2020 and continue to do so. It's just that we've stopped publishing daily bulletin in the state; have been sending mails,” said Kerala Health Minister.
Kerala government has been sending out COVID-19 data regularly since 2020, said Health Minister Veena George rejecting the Centre s claims of not providing daily COVID reports. Kerala Govt Denies Reports of Not Submitting Daily COVID-19 Data to Centre.
Kerala government has responded to the Centre's query regarding the updation of coronavirus (COVID-19) data on an everyday basis. A delay could lead to discrepancies in overall data released by the Indian Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare.
After India reported a 90 per cent jump in Covid cases in a single day, the health ministry on Monday asked Kerala to provide updated COVID-19 data daily.
The Centre suggested that the sudden increase in cases was a result of bulk back-reporting after April 13, which means a gap of five days till Monday.
