Health Department wants easing of restrictions only after TPR touches less than 5%
Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan is scheduled to chair a meeting on Tuesday evening to review the COVID-19 regulations in the State. The average test positivity rate (TPR) in vast swathes of the State remains unyieldingly high at 10%. The Health Department has reportedly told the government that it should permit further easing of restrictions on life, retail, mobility, public transport, markets and production only in localities where the weekly TPR average was less than 5% as prescribed by the WHO.More Related News
