Pinarayi Vijayan says classification of hotspots should be more ‘factual’ and ‘reflects the ground reality better’ ERNAKULAM : Kerala wants a different classification method of its covid-19 hot spots, which is more "factual" and "reflects the ground reality better", even as it abides by the central guidelines for the lockdown, said chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Thursday.
If the state has its way, 10 out of the total 14 districts in Kerala will exit lockdown partially or fully on 20 April, as against only eight under the current classification.
With 147 active patients and 245 recoveries, the positive cases are now as low as 38% of the total 394 cases in the state, as the virus infection curve continues to drastically decline.
