Yesterday alone, 18 new coronavirus cases were reported. They include eight from Kerala, five from Maharashtra, four from Karnataka, and one in J&K.

Kerala is under the high threat of a potential outbreak. It is because they have the maximum number of Covid-19 affected cases in India. Schools, colleges, and theaters remain closed from today until the end of this month.

All public and private functions and programs are now stands canceled in Kerala. Though there are huge losses due to such steps, it becomes essential for controlling the spread of Coronavirus.

The first state to be affected by Coronavirus in India is also Kerala only. Two cases of Coronavirus affected persons from Wuhan were cured and went home safe more than a month ago. Remaining Coronavirus free for a month even after other states being affected, Kerala is the most affected now.

Hence Tamil Nadu government also should be well prepared for the Coronavirus as it could attack back anytime to spread rapidly and cause extensive damage to life and property.
