Health Minister says restrictions necessary to blunt the spread of Delta variant
The State government’s latest order that requires people to produce proof of COVID-19 vaccination, a current RT-PCR negative certificate or medical authentication of having recovered from the infection recently, to enter shops, commute to work or participate in permitted activities met with a swift political backlash from the Opposition United Democratic Front (UDF) in the Assembly on Friday. UDF legislators walked out of the House after Speaker M.B. Rajesh rejected an adjournment notice moved by Congress legislator K. Babu to discuss the issue. They slammed the order as ‘high-handed and outrageous.’ Mr. Babu said the government urgently required a dose of the ‘common sense’ vaccine.More Related News
