Kerala was the first state in the country to disclose a Covid-19 case in january 2020. The continuous rise in infections in southern kerala is putting a strain on the state's already overburdened health system and exposing the administration to assaults from the opposition. According to figures from the Ministry of health, the epidemic has shown no indications of abating in the previous three months. kerala, which was praised for its effective strategies to combat the second wave of Covid-19, is now seeing a resurgence in cases, according to a recent serosurvey conducted by the indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) between june 14 and July 6, which found that the state has the fewest Covid antibodies (44.4%).

When compared to the situation in other states, the severity of the rise in kerala can be determined. tamil Nadu reported 1,767 cases on Tuesday, down from 20,421 on june 6 — the last time any indian state reported more than 20,000 illnesses. kerala continues to have a high number of cases, with 3.3 million now reported, second only to Maharashtra.

Kerala has a high population density (859 persons per square kilometre), a big senior population (at least 15% of the population is over 60 years old), and a high prevalence of lifestyle illnesses such as diabetes. Kerala's campaign against the epidemic has been slowed by a low testing rate, a fixation with fast antigen tests, and an excessive reliance on bureaucracy. The state is home to ten of the country's top 30 Covid-affected districts. Despite the fact that there is no scarcity of oxygen or beds, the state's health system is nevertheless overloaded. According to health ministry figures, demand for beds increased by 14% this week compared to previous week, and 80 percent of Covid beds were filled this week.
