Today there are 84 hotspots in the state. Four of the 14 districts are Covid-19 free.
On Monday, across most Kerala districts it was like a curtain raiser for the new normal, as the good old days of absolute freedom will now go down into history as the old normal.
Barring public transport and auto-rickshaws, roads in Kerala witnessed traffic as markets and shops opened. Also opened offices in the government and the private sector. But barber shops, liquor vends, beauty parlours, cinema theatres, malls and gymnasiums are closed.
Shops can open from 7 a.m. to 7.30 p.m, while restaurants can only provide packed food.
"We have to continue like this for some more time, if not the gains that we have made might disappear. The lockdown norms set by the state government on the basis of the Centre's guideline will continue," said Law Minister A.K. Balan.
It was on January 30 that the first case of Covid-19 was registered in Thrissur. It was also the first case in the country.
Like in other parts of the country, districts have been classified into green, orange and red zones.
