Thiruvanathapuram, Mar 27: The state is heading for its worst ever crisis with coronavirus cases increasing rapidly and Kasargod district the worst hit. On Friday alone 39 positive cases were reported in the state of which 34 are from Kasargod.
Chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan said the situation is grave and Kasargod has been the worst hit. More than the positive cases reported in the district, the worrying factor is that many people have come into contact with these positive cases.
The chief minister warned that the government will be forced to declare the names of the people who are defying the quarantine guidelines in the district. More people have been put under risk in the district and the district administration is much concerned since the results of 215 samples are yet to come.
There is no other way but to tighten the restrictions imposed in the district against the people coming out of their houses. The government has decided to provide more facilities to the hospitals in Kasargod and Kannur to meet an emergency.
The medical college hospital in Kannur will be converted into a coronavirus hospital with 200 bed strength. Steps have been taken to equip the medical college hospital with more facilities. The Central University at kasargood will be converted into as a temporary coronavirus treatment centre.
The state has also requested permission from ICMR to begin the testing facility here, said the chief minister.
The total number of positive cases reported in the state have now become 176 of which 12 have been discharged after testing negative. At present 164 positive people are admitted in several hospitals of the state.
On Friday of the 39 positive cases, two are from Kannur and one each from Thrissur, Kollam and Kozhikode. With this all the districts in the state have been now affected with coronavirus.

Shaji, Rich people have already got their black money in white before 8th November, they have been informed before hand by Feku....no one died from rich and other political parties..
Prime Minister Sab, what is happening.... people are dying...have mercy on them....
According ruling BJP, people will have to sacrifice for ache din and this is what happening. Ruling party is not worried about the daily deaths of people becoz all of them are from poor family whereas rich people are relaxing since they got the money exchanged in advacne of the declaration. I think bjp is not feeling shame for running Govt on the dead bodies and they feel proud of these deaths telling this is a sacrifice for bright future of India. None of the people who has black money every stood in the que. BJP leaders received new currency in advance. I dont know how many more poor people will have to die before the situation becomes normal. shamelsss govt is still justifying their decision. Mukhtar Abbas is actign as if he is an agent of Devil.
Insane Modi Bhakts like Naren might be happy after reading this news.
According to Bhakta\s they are sacrificing their lives for the country.
