THIRUVANANTHAPURAM : Despite being the diabetic capital of India and demographic vulnerability of population density, Kerala with its efficient health system was able to keep the COVID-19 mortality rate low, said Kerala Health Minister KK Shailaja.Speaking to ANI, Kerala Health Minister said, "It is incorrect to say that cases are very high in Kerala.
The cases are definitely rising. But the mortality rate is not as high as other states. The ultimate aim is to reduce the mortality rate.""We could contain cases when there was lockdown.
But now measures are eased. We can't blame govt for easing restrictions because people need to work and earn or else they'll starve to death.
