With the arrival of Delta, a new virus mutation, caution must be maintained: Pinarayi

Thiruvananthapuram: Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan said on Friday that because the Delta type of coronavirus and its novel mutation are present, everyone must exercise extreme vigilance and no callous attitude should be displayed following the relaxing of lockdown regulations.

He stated that a final decision on the opening of religious places will be made on Tuesday.

Since Thursday, the lockdown has been gradually lifted, according on the number of Covid cases reported in each local government in the state.

The state has been classified into four groups based on the test positivity rate, with six local governments having a test positivity rate of more than 30% on Friday.

“There has been talk of a third wave, and specialists believe it will have an impact on our children. We’ve made comprehensive plans in all hospitals to ensure that proper paediatric care is available, so there’s no need to be concerned. We’re just getting things ready “Vijayan added.
