ERNAKULAM : Kerala's covid-19 cases touched a new high as cases in a single-day crossed hundred for the first time.

On Friday, the state recorded 111 fresh cases, its highest single day hike, said the Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan. But, most of the people getting infected are those returning from other countries or states, and the contact spread is limited, he said."This is the highest number of positive cases in a single day.

It is likely to go up as one lakh people from abroad are expected to return to Kerala if all flights scheduled for June arrive," said Vijayan.Kerala had just 16 active cases on 8 May.

On 7 May, international travel resumed and a week later, interstate travel also began, coinciding with a drastic hike in cases.
