కరోనా వైరస్ పై పోరు, కేరళలో ఏం చేసారు?||How Kerala tackled Corona?||
The rest of India, including the Centre, would do well to learn from Kerala’s epidemic management efforts so far in the SARS CoV-2 pandemic. It successfully prevented transmissions when Covid-19 was first reported in the state—three students from the state studying at a medical college in Wuhan were detected to be infected, and then isolated and treated before being released after testing negative for the pathogen twice. The state has just launched a dedicated app, called GoK – Direct Kerala, which is available on Google Playstore, for passing on Covid-19-related information and updates to the public. The app, developed by the Kerala Startup Mission for the state information and public relations department, will also send information and alerts in SMS format to feature phones. Information being a key weapon in the arsenal against SARS CoV-2, the initiative by the state government ties in with its efforts on the ground.
A daily Covid-19 bulletin (in English and Malayalam) is shared with the app-users, which, as of now, details the number of persons under surveillance, under home isolation, the number of samples of suspect cases sent for testing, and the number of samples that have tested negative (the remainder is not all positive cases, part of it will be cases where the result is pending). It will also give a daily update of cases confirmed, apart from the routine advisories on prevention protocol and general instructions to the public.
