Thiruvananthapuram | Health Minister Veena George has said that the second wave of the Delta virus, which is a variant of the virus, is spreading in the state, which could double the number of Kovid patients. The government has a responsibility to protect the people in this situation. That is why the restrictions are being tightened, he said.
The number of Kovid patients is likely to be double or more than it is now. The minister said the situation would worsen if there was a third wave before the vaccination was completed. K Babu MLA, who issued the notice for the emergency resolution, alleged that the restrictions were meant to impose fines on the people by using the police in the name of Kovid. The lockdown restrictions in the state could not be extended forever. The minister said he would not consider a review.
He also told the cabinet that the police had to intervene when people were violating the regulations in such a way as to spread the disease. Satheesan criticized. Opposition parties have stated they will not run in the by-elections.
