COVID-19 cases rose again in Kerala with the reporting of 39 new positive cases on Friday.
Kasaragod district accounted for 34 of these cases while two are from Kannur. One case each was reported from Kollam, Thrissur and Kozhikode.
Of the 39 cases, 25 are people who returned from Dubai and 13 cases are all contacts of imported cases in Kasaragod. The source details of one case is still being ascertained. Though it might seem like COVID-19 transmission is surging in the State, it should be remembered that all 39 positive cases have been reported in people who are already under quarantine.
However, it is indeed worrisome that some of these patients seemed to have travelled extensively, before they were quarantined.
