The State on Friday registered 2,605 new cases of COVID-19 infection when 55,928 samples were tested.
Thiruvananthapuram, Ernakulam and Kozhikode districts registered the highest number of infections logging 534, 496 and 252 cases respectively. The test positivity rate (TPR) was 4.65.

The Centre has rejected reports that the definition of the Aravalli hills was changed to permit large-scale mining, citing a Supreme Court-ordered freeze on new leases. It said a court-approved framework will bring over 90% of the Aravalli region under protected areas and strengthen safeguards against illegal mining. The clarification follows controversy over the “100-metre” criterion used to define hills across states.
