Further restrictions in Kerala in the wake of the spike in Covid-19 cases will be decided on Thursday, January 20, at a high level meeting chaired by Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan. A lockdown, however, is unlikely.

Since the CM is in the US seeking treatment, he will attend the meeting online. In the cabinet meeting convened on Wednesday, health minister Veena George informed the cabinet that while the spike in cases is high, the number of hospitalisations is less.
