Ernakulam: Acting in line with central guidelines over 'Unlock 1', Kerala on Monday extended lockdown in Covid-19 hotspots till 30 June, and decided to continue restricting interstate travel with e-passes, even as it allowed some concessions like resuming inter-district public transport.
The state recorded 57 new cases in the last 24 hours. The state has so far recorded 1,326 cases, of them 708 active and 608 recovered.
Eleven people died in the state so far. Curfew-like curbs will be placed in hotspots till 30 June, restricting all non-essential travel, said the state's chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan.
A decision on unlocking religious places will be taken on 8 June, after consultation with the stakeholders, but an exception will be made
