COVID shadow over Thrissur Pooram

Health Department sounds alert
In the wake of second wave of COVID-19, the Health Department has sounded an alert over the possible risk to people if pandemic protocols are neglected during Thrissur Pooram, which attracts lakhs of people. “The positivity rate has been increasing fast. With much effort we had brought down the rate to 1.71 by the end of March (March 25). But it increased again during the election when people started crowding without maintaining COVID-19 protocols. The current positivity rate in the district is 9.4. If pandemic protocols have been ignored further, it will scuttle all the efforts taken by the Health Department so far to check the spread of COVID,” said District Medical Officer K.J. Reena.
