“Allegations that Kerala government is not giving COVID data to the Centre are absolutely wrong. We've been sending data since 2020 and continue to do so. It's just that we've stopped publishing daily bulletin in the state; have been sending mails,” said Kerala Health Minister.
New Delhi: Kerala Health minister Veena George on Tuesday (April 19, 2022), while reacting to the Centre’s claim that the state was not sharing daily Covid data with them, accused the government of spreading misinformation.
While talking to the reporters, the Kerala Health minister presented a series of digital evidence of daily emails sent to the Centre as per the prescribed format.
“Allegations that Kerala government is not giving COVID data to the Centre are absolutely wrong. We've been sending data since 2020 and continue to do so. It's just that we've stopped publishing daily bulletin in the state; have been sending mails,” said Kerala Health Minister.
Veena George also slammed the government for sharing the official letter sent to the state in the media and called it a publicity stunt.
“It was unfortunate that the official letter sent to the state was leaked to the media and given publicity at the national level,” she added.
