Kerala, with only 3% of the population in India, has been responsible for more than half of the country's new cases. The virus's replication number has surpassed one, which describes how a disease spreads and calculates the number of individuals affected by a single sick person. To date, Covid-19 has caused 3.4 million cases as well as 16,837 deaths in Kerala. However, epidemiologists claim that kerala is testing far more individuals than the rest of the nation, with moreover double the number of persons tested per million. This suggests an increase in the number of situations that necessitate lockdowns.
According to Prof Menon, Kerala's major focus should be on reducing case numbers. According to virologists, the state requires more detailed information on focused screening and more genome sequencing to figure out where diseases are spreading the greatest and track new variations. Many people believe kerala needs to be smarter and more assertive.
