More wards in Kozhikode to be under lockdown

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.

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.
