Alcohol consumption not rare among COVID-19 patients in Kochi

Doctors admit that it is fairly common to get calls from friends and acquaintances asking whether drinking while being infected with COVID-19 pose any danger
A fortnight ago, a youngster approached the security cabin of a major apartment complex in the heart of the Kochi city.
He had come to deliver a bottle of alcohol to his boss who was in quarantine in the apartment after being tested positive for . The security guard almost messed it up by mistaking the delivery for another resident who had a similar arrangement for delivering liquor bottle.
The confusion, however, was cleared and the bottle was delivered at the right doorstep. The incident was testimony to the fact that is not stopping infected people from drinking despite being explicitly warned against doing so.
Everyone talks about the Airport Metro, but one look at the pillars and completion seems nowhere in sight. Meanwhile, a faster, cheaper, roomier alternative called the Suburban Rail Airport Corridor is finally getting off the drawing board. This dedicated corridor with its specialised coaches will link the airport to vast stretches of Bengaluru, where the metro connection is still years away.
