Even though the current situation of COVID-19 in the State does not warrant any kind of anxiety or panic, Kerala will have to strengthen disease surveillance and heighten vigil as COVID-19 cases are beginning to rise in other States, Health Minister Veena George has said.
At a high-level meeting convened here on Monday to review the COVID situation in the State, districts were asked to improve disease surveillance and to watch the situation closely.
It was pointed out at the meeting that Kochi seemed to be the only area where a slight increase in cases had been reported. Districts were asked to closely monitor the situation and to report any rise in case graph or the formation of any case clusters to the State Health administration immediately.
