Virudhunagar district recorded the highest number of single-day increase of COVID-19 cases so far this year with 227 testing positive on Monday. The district registered fresh cases in triple digits for the nineth consecutive day and the number crossed the 200-mark for the first time on Monday. A total of 91 persons were discharged from hospitals and healthcare facilities in the district.With the clock ticking down to the Lok Sabha election counting day on Tuesday, opposing fronts are perceptibly edgy and poised to continue the rancorous skirmishing that marked the campaign season in Kerala. The United Democratic Front, led by the Congress, is seemingly basking in the “interim victory” granted by various exit polls. The UDF discerns that its poll strategy of turning the polls foremostly into a damning referendum on the Left Democratic Front government’s perceived failures rather than BJP’s “divisive politics” at the national level stood a fighting chance of paying off.
