The Hindu
State posts 13,550 cases, TPR at 11%
Kerala reported 13,550 new cases of COVID-19 on Tuesday when 1,23,225 samples were tested in 24 hours. Post lockdown, cases are climbing in many districts, indicating that disease transmission continues to be active in many pockets in the community. The epidemic curve, which had shown an initial dip, is thus on a long, protracted plateauing phase, with the State reporting between 10,000-12,000 new cases daily. The test positivity rate (TPR) that had remained steady around 10% for the past few days also registered an increase and touched 11% on the day.
