Ernakulam: Kerala on Friday reported only one new covid-19 case, and ten more recoveries, according to an official statement from the state government, as it continues the steak of flattening of the virus infection curve.
This is the second time this week the state is reporting only one case in a day, in sharp contrast to the surge in cases in neighbouring Tamil Nadu and Karnataka.
Official estimates put the total recorded cases in Kerala so far at 395. Out of them, 255 people have recovered, that is about 65%, and 138 are still active patients.
Two Keralites had died previously over covid-19, excluding another death of a Puducherry native while in treatment in the state.
