Thiruvananthapuram, June 18 (TIWN) Kerala Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Friday noted that the Delta variant of coronavirus and its new mutant are there, hence utmost caution has to be exercised by all and there should be no callous attitude shown post the easing of lockdown norms.

With regards to opening of religious places, a final decision will be taken on Tuesday, he said.    Since Thursday, there has been a graded lifting of lockdown, depending on the incidence of Covid cases in each local body in the state.
