Test positivity rate at of 24%, death toll touches 1,015 in district
The COVID-19 death toll in Thiruvananthapuram crossed 1,000 as it touched 1,015 on Monday when as many as 16 deaths were attributed to the disease. However, the daily COVID-19 caseload took a significant dip in Thiruvananthapuram on the day as 2,450 tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 during the last 24 hours, thereby registering a test positivity rate (TPR) of 24%. Bringing much relief, the decrease in COVID-19 count has come even as testing remained largely consistent. While the TPR touched 31.35% when 10,910 people were subjected to tests a day ago, it has now fallen considerably after 10,182 people were tested, according to official figures.
