Week-long triple lockdown starts in Kerala’s Thiruvananthapuram today

The Kerala government imposed a triple lockdown in the state capital of Thiruvananthapuram from Monday for a week following a spike in the cases of the coronavirus disease (Covid-19) in the district.

As the lockdown started from 6am, police seized many vehicles and arrested several violators in the morning.

The announcement about the triple lockdown on Sunday came hours after K Surendran, the state’s tourism minister, said the district was ‘’sitting on an active volcano’’ with rising number of Covid-19 cases.
