ERNAKULAM/NEW DELHI : On 7 March, when news surfaced that a family of three returning from Italy had skipped the voluntary screening at the airport, the administration in Kerala’s Pathanamthitta district sprang into action. Realizing the potential for an outbreak, collector P.B. Nooh scrambled a team of doctors, police personnel and local politicians. In 48 hours, hundreds of people the family met were identified using mobile location data and physical interviews, and placed under quarantine. Pathanamthitta district, with 1.1 million residents, was at that time the epicentre of the coronavirus outbreak in Kerala, reporting the highest number of cases (9) at that point. Aided by aggressive contact tracing, quarantining and testing, the district has since brought down covid-19 cases to just six. Pathanamthitta’s success story reflects Kerala’s successful fightback against the virus, with nearly 55% of its 386 covid-19 patients recovering as of Tuesday.
Several parts of the country that were covid-19 hotspots just a fortnight ago have since successfully pushed back the pandemic, offering lessons for others still struggling to get the disease under control.
According to government data, at least 354 of India’s 736 districts are reporting covid-19 cases, out of which over 153 are hotspots (recording more than six cases as per government definition) and the rest emerging hotspots with cases being reported.
