TPR surges to 22.22% as district records 2,821 fresh cases
All the wards in Thurayoor and Koorachund grama panchayats will be under lockdown as the weekly infection population ratio (WIPR) is over 8 in these places. Fifty-five wards in other local bodies too will have strict restrictions in place now. This is a significant rise as last week, only three grama panchayats and 37 wards in other local bodies had restrictions. The new guidelines were announced by the district administration on Wednesday. Ten wards in Koduvally Municipality (1,7,10,11,22,23,29,31,33,34), nine wards each in Koyilandy Municipality (5,13,22,24, 26,35, 36,38,39), Mukkom Municipality (1,3,7,11,17,18, 20,31,32), and Feroke Municipality (3,5,11,13,14, 16,17,20,24), seven in Ramanattukara (3,5,13,15,17,21, 25), five wards in Vadakara Municipality (5,6,8,20,28), four in Payyoli (24,30,31,34), and two wards in Kozhikode Corporation (2,3) too would face curbs on social life.More Related News
