Only Kollam district in Category C now

Restrictions on civil life on Sunday to be in force on February 6 also
With the COVID-19 case graph showing a decline in all districts and COVID-related hospitalisations decreasing in numbers, Category C (where COVID hospitalisations exceed 25% of all hospitalisations) regulations are no more applicable in any districts except Kollam.
Thiruvananthapuram, Pathanamthitta, Alappuzha, Kottayam, Idukki, Ernakulam, Thrissur, Palakkad, Wayanad and Kannur districts have now been consigned to Category B (doubling of ICU admission due to COVID and hospital admissions due to COVID reaching 10% of total hospital admissions of the district)
Everyone talks about the Airport Metro, but one look at the pillars and completion seems nowhere in sight. Meanwhile, a faster, cheaper, roomier alternative called the Suburban Rail Airport Corridor is finally getting off the drawing board. This dedicated corridor with its specialised coaches will link the airport to vast stretches of Bengaluru, where the metro connection is still years away.
