Lockdown restrictions necessitated by the COVID-19 might continue even beyond May 3.

Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan on Tuesday hinted that the State would have to brace itself for a further prolongation of the stifling regulations on social life and economic activity, including curb-side retail business. He said the new flare-ups in Idukki and Kottayam had forced the government to do a rethink.

“The government will have to evaluate the lockdown situation against the backdrop of its experience in the two districts and set a new course after May 3,” he said.
