The Supreme Court has pulled up the Kerala government for relaxation in Covid Curbs , even as the state government continues to record a high number of cases.
The apex court said that the state government has given in to demand of traders to allow shops to open. This was even done in zones witnessing a positivity rate of 15% or more, the court observed, calling it “an alarming and sorry state of affairs.”
The court warned that it will take action if the easing of curbs leads to further spread of the virus.
Kerala has relaxed lockdown regulations for three days in wake of the Bakrid Festival that falls on July 21.
“We direct the Kerala government to give head to the right to life enshrined under Article 21 of the Constitution,” the bench said.
