Thiruvananthapuram, June 11 (TIWN) Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Friday said that things are slowly getting better on the Covid front as there is improvement in test positivity rate (TPR) and the number of daily cases, but control and precautions should continue, as the figures still have to be brought down further.

Appearing before the media after a very long break, he said that the control that people exercised during the second wave has to continue unabated.  "We are getting prepared for a possible third wave and to tackle that, if it happens, we are increasing the health infrastructure at all our facilities, as the virus mutations are taking place. None knows what is in store and hence all what we can do is to be prepared and we will do that," he said.  Vijayan said that on Friday, 14,233 people turned positive after 1,07,096 samples were tested in the past 24 hours.  "The average TPR for the past three days stands at 13.9 per cent. At present, there are 1,34,001 active cases. 15,355 people turned negative, taking the total cured to 25,57,597," he said.
