Infecting through contact is falling in the state. The state is not in a terrible situation like other states, she said in the capital city.

Meantime, according to the official data of the government from May 4 to June 6, 49 cases of unknown sources were reported in Kerala. The source of more than 20 remains unclear. The increase in the number of patients with unknown source is a cause of concern. Experts see this as an indication of silent community transmission in Kerala.

Sixteen people who reached Tamil Nadu from Kerala was confirmed of the virus yesterday. This is a cause of concern for the state. 65 patients were diagnosed with the disease within a month. More than twenty who reached Karnataka from the state were also confirmed of the virus.
