27,487 newly infected, 31,209 persons recover
Kerala registered a dip in new COVID-19 cases on Monday when it registered 27,487 cases, in response to the dip in testing over the weekend, when 99,748 samples were tested in 24 hours. The average test positivity rate in the State over the past three days seems to show a slight dip and registered 27.56% on Monday. For the first time in weeks, the State’s active case pool dipped from 4,23,514 on Sunday to 4,19,726 patients on Monday. This perhaps has something to do with the fact that for the first time in weeks, the State registered more recoveries than new cases on Monday, with 31,209 persons declared to have recovered from the disease.
