HC poser to govt. on RT-PCR test
The Hindu
‘No scientific or empirical data that the unvaccinated are likely to transmit the infection’
The Kerala High Court on Wednesday asked the State government why should there be an insistence on taking RT-PCR test every 72 hours or getting vaccinated with at least one dose before one goes out to work or other activities when there is no scientific or empirical data indicating that the unvaccinated are likely to transmit the infection. Justice P.B.Suresh Kumar put the question before the government pleader during a hearing on a writ petition filed by Lalu V., an employee of the Kerala State Tourism Development Corporation (KTDC), challenging the State government order requiring persons who want to go out for working or shopping to get oneself vaccinated at least with one jab or to possess a negative RT-PCR report not older than 72 hours.
