‎Thiruvananthapuram: Health Minister V George said the number of covid cases is increasing from households in the state. The Minister said that the health department's study shows that nearly 35 per cent of people are infected from their homes. If a man comes to the house, everyone in the house gets a covid. The Minister also said that this is because the home quarantine provisions are not strictly followed.‎

quate facilities in their homes should be in the home quarantine. DcCs are still available to those who do not have such facilities. Those living in the home quarantine should not leave the room.
