India: Kerala to impose additional restrictions

The Kerala government has imposed additional restrictions from Saturday to Wednesday to bring down the test positivity rate (TPR) of Covid-19 in the state.

Chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan proposed several moves to lower the TPR, which is around 15 per cent.

Commercial establishments will remain shut from Saturday to Wednesday and only shops selling essential commodities will remain open. Government and quasi government offices, public sector units, corporations and other establishments, which were supposed to resume operations with 50 per cent employees from Monday will now see the same happening only from Thursday.
