People in Malappuram warned against venturing out

Low COVID-19 TPR should not be taken as a reason for getting out of home, says DMO Dr. Sakeena

Health and police authorities in the district have warned the people against venturing out of their homes in spite of a sharp fall in the COVID-19 test positivity rate (TPR) in Malappuram. The TPR registered in Malappuram district on Friday was 13.3%, when the State average was 16.4 per cent. Thanks to the triple lockdown and stricter containment, the authorities could bring down the TPR in the district from 43%, which was the State’s highest two weeks ago.
