The ongoing COVID-19 death reconciliation exercise completely belies Kerala’s claim that it has managed the pandemic well, says a death analysis report by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare
The Union Health Ministry has come down heavily on the Kerala Government for the less than transparent manner in which it has been reporting COVID-19 deaths.
The ongoing COVID-19 death reconciliation exercise, which has added 8,684 deaths (October 22-November 22) in a space of one month to the State’s COVID toll, completely belies its claim that it has managed the pandemic well, a death analysis report by the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW) has said.

The draft policy for “Responsible Digital Use Among Students”, released on Monday by the Department of Health and Family Welfare, has recommended that parents set structured routines with clear screen-time rules and prioritise privacy, safety, and open conversation with children on digital well-being.
