As the national Covid-19 curve trends downward, Kerala continues to be the outlier.
Over the last two days, the state has reported a significant rise in new infections, which has led to an increase in active cases at the national level for the first time in two months.
Kerala has been discovering between 11,000 and 13,000 cases every day for almost a month now.
During this same period, the daily count in the country has halved — from more than 80,000 a day to about 40,000 a day. Nearly every major state other than Kerala has reported a significant decline in the daily case count.
