Though only 4,538 new Covid-19 cases were reported in Kerala on Monday, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan said the details remained inconclusive as the entire data for the day could not be collected.
“The details collected in the second half of the day would be furnished on Tuesday and hence the numbers would be higher than normal,” said Vijayan while briefing the media on Monday.
