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.

Communal ideology was kept in the freezer for more than 70 years by Nehru and Congress. Because of its Secular credentials, India got good name and fame in the world. Also India is developed much better than its neigbors under the Congress rule. Now the Communal forces are started to come out but mean time it is out dated. People do not want division in the name of religion and silly politics. We are not going to achieve anything by commenting on history nor we cannot blame any one what is happened in the history. What people need is : Good Hospitals, Schools and colleges, Electricity, Jobs, Good Roads - People need peaceful and comfortable life. Not this hell kind of Beef, Mandir Masjid politics. Any party should realize, people will vote for them just by raising these issues, they are only dreaming. Remember people voted Modi for Development not for Hindu Muslim politics. Any governemnt, please concentrate only on providing peaceful and comfortable life for the citizens of India. Nobody interested in Silly politics. Ultimately people will vote only to those who brings developments and non corrupt.
Yes. If you are the real man and have guts reveal the true histoty. Not Chaddi history.
