Negligence in the monitoring of Covid-19 patients in home isolation and not following central guidelines are among the reasons behind the high Covid-19 numbers in Kerala, a central team that visited the state has told the Union Health Ministry. The six-member team of the National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) was sent to Kerala last week by the Centre to take stock of the pandemic situation in Kerala. The southern state accounts for over 50 per cent of active Covid-19 cases in the country.
