THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Senior Congress leader K Muraleedharan, MP, has reportedly expressed his strong displeasure over the probable candidature in crucial constituencies like Vattiyoorkavu, Kazhakootam and Nemom in Thiruvananthapuram district. With the KPCC and AICC leaderships clamouring for newcomers, the names being considered in these constituencies are of former ambassador to the Netherlands Venu Rajamony, Dr S S Lal and KPCC secretary G V Hari. But the candidature will be finalised only after the fourth survey report on candidates by the AICC team is released on Friday. However, Rajamony told TNIE that he is reluctant to contest from Vattiyoorkavu following negative reports against him.

Experts call for study and documentation of outbreak in Malappuram schools
Public health experts have called for a deeper epidemiological study and documentation of the transmission of COVID-19 in the two schools in Malappuram district and draw lessons from the incident as schoolchildren may play a key role in augmenting disease transmission through the community.
This is especially so as children, while they are as susceptible as adults to the disease, have mostly asymptomatic or mild infection and in all likelihood would go unrecognised as potential disease transmitters.
She denied allegations of inadequate testing, low death count reporting
Kerala raised a strong strategy-based defence against COVID-19 and the State can be proud of the fact that it has saved innumerable lives by ensuring that the peak of the epidemic was delayed and that the number of patients never went beyond the health system’s surge capacity, Health Minister K.K. Shylaja has said.
The State had efficiently implemented the test, trace, quarantine and treat strategy, and had adopted the policy of hospitalising patients early so that they could be managed before the complications of COVID-19 set in. This policy of early hospitalisation and management was what helped the State keep its COVID-19 case fatality down at 0.4%, she added.
