In the last two days, Kerala has also recorded one death from COVID, an 80-year-old male with severe pneumonia and other comorbidities like Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS), diabetes, hypertension and coronary artery disease.
The department has made mask-wearing compulsory for people at higher risk of severe illness, such as the elderly, pregnant women, and those with chronic diseases.
The number of active COVID-19 cases in the country has now crossed 4,000.
The surge in infections is believed to be driven by new sub-variants, primarily NB.1.8.1 and LF.7 — both descendants of the JN.1 Omicron variant.
One case of NB.1.8.1 was identified in Tamil Nadu in April, while four cases of LF.7 were reported in Gujarat in May.
With rising Covid cases in Southeast Asia, Kerala intensifies local monitoring and urges public health precautions to prevent a surge.
The COVID variants JN 1, LF 7, and NB 1.8 are currently active in Southeast Asia.
According to officials, most of them are mild infections that do not need hospitalisation.
Diseases of circulatory system, Covid-19 and diseases of respiratory system remained the top three leading causes of death in the country in 2021.
