New Covid cases coming down in Kerala even as 7,643 turn positive

Thiruvananthapuram, Oct 19 (SocialNews.XYZ) Going by the figures, there seems to be a decline in the new Covid cases in Kerala as 7,643 people turned positive after 82,408 samples were tested in the past 24 hours. The test positivity rate was 9.27 per cent, said a statement from Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan.
