Kerala government has decided to further ease the Covid-19 restrictions, reported PTI on Tuesday. As per the news agency, the state has asked schools and colleges to prepare for functioning in a full-fledged manner from the end of February.
Currently, the classes are being conducted with 50% attendance. Further, it is also considering increasing the number of pilgrims for the religious festivals, including the Aluva Sivarathri, Attukal Pongala and Maraman conventions.
The decisions came during a Covid-19 evaluation meeting, chaired by Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan. "The evaluation meeting has instructed the health department to start a post-Covid registry to record the post-Covid symptoms and other health details.
Post-Covid clinics have been opened and a state-level nodal officer has been appointed," read a release by the CM's office. With active Covid-19 cases in Kerala starting to show a decline, the state government had on Friday decided to start offline classes for students of classes 10, 11 and 12 and college students from 7 February.
