January
The first positive cases of coronavirus in India were reported from three students of Kerala origin, travelling from the Wuhan province of China, which was the point of origin of the disease. They belonged to Thrissur, Alappuzha and Kasargod districts of Kerala and two of them were medical students at a university in Wuhan. Following the detection of positive cases, the government of Kerala declared a 'state calamity warning'. Over 3000 contacts of the affected individuals were placed under quarantine, out of which 45 were placed in hospital quarantine.
February
The three positive individuals later recovered from the infection following hospital care. The 'state calamity' warning was withdrawn after 4 days, when no further cases were reported. As China was a popular country for students from Kerala to pursue medicine, several medical students got stranded in China when the lock-down due to coronavirus was put into effect. Some of them, who were stranded in airports in China were evacuated and flown into Cochin International Airport and quarantined at isolation wards in Kochi Medical College. However, none of them were later tested positive for the disease.
March
The government of Kerala declared high alert from 4 to 8 February and starting 8 March 2020 due to corona virus cases being reported from the state.[15][16] Isolation wards with 40 beds were set up in 21 major hospitals of the state and a helpline was activated in every district.[17] As of 9 March, more than 4000 persons are under home or hospital quarantine in Kerala.[18] As of 4 March, 215 health care workers were deployed across Kerala and 3,646 Telephone counseling services were conducted to provide psycho-social support to families of those suspected to be infected.[19] Despite the threat of corona virus infection, the Kerala government decided to go ahead with Attukal pongala, a large, annual, all-women religious congregation in Thiruvananthapuram. The government also urged individuals to refrain themselves from the pongala, take precautions against disease transmission and, if possible, offer pongala at their own homes.[20][21] The government of Kerala has started a YouTube channel for updating the public regarding the status of corona virus spread in Kerala and precautions to be taken.[22] There are three corona virus testing centers in Kerala : National Institute of Virology Field Unit, Thiruvananthapuram Medical College, Calicut Medical College.[23]
On 10 March, the Kerala government arranged special isolation wards in prisons across the state.[24] On 10 March, the government of Kerala shut down all colleges and schools up to grade 7.[25] The government also urged people to not undertake pilgrimages, attend large gatherings such as weddings and cinema shows.[26]
Also, the government has launched a mobile application called "GoK Direct" for users to get information and updates regarding the COVID-19 (corona virus) disease. It is an initiative from the Kerala Startup Mission and the Information & Public Relations Department developed by startup Qkopy. The app can also send text message alerts to basic phones (without internet). The app will focus on general announcements, information and updated guidelines for travellers, details about the quarantine protocol and also health and safety tips for visitors to the state.[27]
On 15 March, a new initiative 'Break the Chain' was introduced by Government of Kerala.The campaign aims to educate people about the importance of public and personal hygiene. Under this campaign, the Pinarayi Vijayan-led government has installed water taps at public spots such as at the entry and exit gates of the railway stations with hand wash bottles.[28]
On 19 March, Chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan announced a stimulus package of Rs 20,000 crore (€2.5 billion; $2.6 billion) to help the state overcome both the COVID-19 epidemic and economic hardship caused by it. This includes Rs. 500 crore for healthcare, Rs 2,000 crore for loans and free rations, Rs 2,000 crore for creating jobs in rural areas, Rs 1,000 crore for families with financial difficulties, and Rs 1,320 crore for paying two months pensions in advance.[29][30] The government has also ordered salons and workout centers to shut down. This is in order to prevent the virus from spreading via direct contact.[31]
On 22 March, Health minister of Kerala, K. K. Shailaja strongly warned to people to follow the orders from Health department of Kerala.[32] A citizen science initiative, Collective for Open Data Distribution - Keralam (CODD-K), by a group of technologists, academicians, and students advocating open data released first bilingual (Malayalam and English) online dashboard (March 22, 2020) for non-specialists to provide real-time analysis, and daily updates of COVID-19 cases in Kerala by leveraging publicly available data from the daily bulletins published by the department of health services (DHS), Government of Kerala, and various news outlets [33][34]
On 23 March, Chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan announced a statewide lock-down till 31 March to prevent further spread of Corona virus. This was before the central government declared a nationwide lock-down. Being strictly applied in Kasargod necessary shops like grocery stores were allowed to be opened from 11am till 5pm. And in other districts necessary shops were opened from 7 am till 5 pm with the exception of medical stores. Public transports were shut down. There was no restriction for private vehicles but district to district travels were only allowed with thorough checking.[35]
Break the Chain
The Kerala government has introduced a mass hand washing campaign named break the chain on March 15 to educate people about the importance of public and personal hygiene due to the spread of the novel coronavirus across the state. Health Minister of Kerala, Smt. K. K. Shailaja inaugurated the mass campaign. The government has appealed the public to promote break the chain campaign as a safety measure. During this campaign, the government has installed water taps with hand wash bottles at public spots of the railway stations and other public places.[36][37][38]
Quarantine
Kerala is the only state in India that mandates 28 days of home quarantine for those returning from countries affected by coronavirus or red/high risk zones, while the national guidelines for India is 14 days.[19][39] People who are advised home quarantine are advised to stay at their homes during the 28-day period, and report to healthcare authorities if they show symptoms of coronavirus infection.[40]

At least 4.27 lakh NRKs (Non-resident Keralites) have registered on the NORKA (Department of Non Resident Keralites Affairs) portal, of which about 1.69 lakh people constitute the most vulnerable sections, those who have lost their jobs, employment contract has not been renewed; those released from prisons and awaiting deportation, pregnant women, students who have completed courses and whose visa had expired.[43] However, it is unclear whether all these people would be allowed to travel home, considering certain conditions and priorities set by the local embassies and the centre.[44] Those on the priority list include pregnant women, elderly people and others requiring urgent medical treatment, students, those who left on visiting visas and have overshot their welcome and those who lost their jobs and do not have a place to stay. According to reports, around 1.69 lakh people belong to the priority categories.[45]
For weeks, the state health department has been engaged in setting up facilities and protocols that will be pushed into action when the expatriates come home. On Wednesday, health minister KK Shailaja said in a statement that her department is fully equipped to deal with the challenge of welcoming the expatriates at all four international airports – Trivandrum International Airport, Cochin International Airport, Calicut International Airport and Kannur International Airport.[46]
Pre-arrival protocols
Passengers inside flights will be seated in a zig-zag fashion, wearing masks. 45 minutes before arrival, announcements will be made inside the flight about quarantine procedures. Travellers will have to fill in self-report forms and submit at the help desk. 15 to 20 people will be deboarded at a time, with one-metre distance between them. At the aerobridge, their temperatures will be checked. Those running a fever will be sent to the isolation bay. If they do not have a fever, they will be directed to the help desks. Each of the help desks will be manned by a doctor, staff nurse, volunteer and a data entry operator. Passengers are checked for fever or other symptoms at the help desk by the doctor. If they do, they are directed to the isolation bay.[47]
The Indian Consulate had appealed to passengers not to overcrowd the airport, maintain social distancing and follow all necessary precautions stipulated by the authorities. Air India crew members on board the repatriation flights will be fully protected with protective gear, including Personal Protective Equipment, to reduce the risk of contracting coronavirus.[48]
Post-arrival protocols
Separate mobile health applications have been created to register and track the expatriates who will arrive at three of the airports in the first phase – Kochi, Thiruvananthapuram and Kozhikode. The app to be used at Thiruvananthapuram is named ‘Karuthal’ (precaution in Malayalam), the one designed for Kochi is Ayurraksha and the one for Kozhikode is Agamanam (arrival in Malayalam). All the details of those who have registered on the NORKA website have been plugged into the app. Using QR codes, each of the travelers can be contacted and traced.[49]
Initially, there will be a basic medical screening for those wishing to return home. Only those found asymptomatic will be allowed to board the aircraft. Medical teams will be deployed at the arrival lounge with screening facilities. The passengers will be home quarantined for 14 days and monitored by ward-level Vigil Committees in their residences. Those who wanted to stay in corona care homes will be shifted to such centres near airports. The state government has requested the Centre Government to provide passengers' list before their arrival in Kerala Airports. The expatriates has to strictly undergo the mandatory quarantine time period in government-arranged facilities of seven days. On the seventh day, PCR test for coronavirus will be conducted and those who tested negative will be sent home. The test result will be announced the next day. Those who test positive will be sent to hospitals. Those who proceed to their homes will have to remain in quarantine for one more week. Antibody tests would also be widely done on overseas returnees.[50]
Operation Samudra Setu
Indian Navy ship Jalashwa entered Male port in the Maldives on Thursday to evacuate Indian citizens stranded in the country as part of India's national effort to repatriate its citizens from abroad. Indian Naval Ships Jalashwa and Magar are part of the first phase of evacuation operations from 8 May 2020. The navy has named its evacuation operation as "Samudra Setu" (Sea Bridge).[51]
The repatriation exercise is being conducted in keeping with a standard operating procedure (SOP) prepared by the central government. Under the first phase of Operation "Samudra Setu", INS Jalashwa is set to bring back 750 Indians from Maldives, followed by another 250 repatriations by INS Magar.[52]
Sources in the military said there are nearly 3,500 Indians stranded in the Maldives, a tourist paradise that lies to India's southwest in the Indian Ocean. A call is yet to be taken on the repatriation of the remaining 2,500 Indians, the sources added.
Meanwhile, the sources said, two other Naval ships are waiting off West Asia, which hosts the largest share of Indian citizens abroad. Since the area is also being served by the Air India repatriation flights, the sources added, the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) has not decided which country they will need to enter to undertake the exercise.
The Indian military will begin the repatriation of stranded Indians Friday as a Navy ship sets sail from the Maldives with at least 750 people on board, is expected to reach the Cochin Port port by Sunday. The evacuated personnel will be disembarked at Cochin Port in Kerala and will be under the care of state authorities.[53]
Protocols
All arrangements have been made at the port to receive the ship, part of the Indian Navy's ‘Operation Samudra Setu' to evacuate the stranded Indians overseas amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
The movement of passengers from the ship to the terminal will be held under the supervision of district administration and health department. The e-declaration of the passengers will be completed on board the ship itself. Preliminary tests will also be conducted. Those with symptoms will be allowed to disembark first and moved to a separate zone earmarked on the terminal. And after completing the immigration and customs checks, they would be taken to the hospital in ambulances. The District Medical Office (DMO) will oversee this. Other passengers will be categorized into batches of 50 based on their districts and allowed to disembark next. Their immigration and customs checks will be completed at the Samudrika cruise terminal. The port health organisation will check the e-declaration of the passengers. BSNL will issue new SIM cards to passengers. Passengers will have to install Aarogya Setu app at the terminal itself. After completing the checks, passengers will be sent to various districts in buses with 30 people each. Cars will be provided depending on the need. Visitors, relatives or friends of passengers will not be allowed at the Samudrika terminal.[54]
Mathematical models
In late March, two researchers from the University of Cambridge came up with a new mathematical model that predicts a flat 49-day countrywide lockdown or sustained lockdown with periodic relaxation extending over two months may be necessary to prevent COVID-19 resurgence in India.[55]
Hotspot districts
Districts that see high cases or high rates of infections are marked as hotspots. The Union Health Ministry on Thursday delineated 170 districts in 25 states as COVID-19 hotspots. 207 districts in 27 states will be classified non-hotspots. According to Ministry of Health Joint Secretary Lav Agarwal, states have been directed to declare districts with higher number of cases as hotspots, those with lesser number of cases as non-hotspots, and those which have reported no cases as green zones.[56]
Classification (Kerala)
By 16 April, the Union Health Ministry had identified seven districts in Kerala as COVID-19 hotspots.[57] Initially, CM Pinarayi Vijayan said that the central government's directives on lock-down restrictions would be fully implemented in the state. The state government said it was unscientific to decide on hotspots, but that the centre's decision could not be changed.[58] But the state later took the stand that there was no need to declare some of these districts as hotspots and argued that the decision of the MoHFW was unscientific. Instead, they decided to modify the list of hotspots, considering that the growth rate of infection was rapidly decreasing in the state.[59]
Finally, Kerala designated four districts – Kasargod, Kannur, Kozhikode and Malappuram – as 'Red Zone', Idukki and Kottayam as 'Green Zone' and the remaining eight districts as 'Orange Zone'. Lockdown restrictions in the Green and Orange Zones were relaxed on 20 and 24 April. Inter-state and inter-district travel would continue to be banned. People travelling outside their homes would be required to wear a mask. Every district would be given a special plan for preventive measures.[60] According to the government's order, 13 services, including air, rail and inter-district bus services, will not be available in the zoning system throughout the lockdown.
On 23 April 2020, Pinarayi Vijayan announced that the two 'Green Zone' districts – Idukki and Kottayam – would be added to the COVID-19 Orange Zone. This followed confirmation of new positive cases in these districts.[61] On 27 April 2020, Kottayam and Idukki districts were included in the 'Red Zone' due to rising numbers of new cases. With this, six districts are in the Red zone. State Police Chief, Lokanath Behera announced that two IPS officers have been appointed as Special Officers in the Red Zone, Idukki and Kottayam.[62]
On 2 May 2020, Wayanad district was shifted to Orange Zone following the report of the COVID-19 case. Thrissur, Alappuzha and Ernakulam have been in the green zone with no new cases reported for more than 21 days. Kannur and Kottayam will remain in the red zone. Other districts are in the orange zone. The zonal classification will be changed from time to time to assess the situation in the districts. Lock-down control in hotspots in Red Zone districts has been decided to be implemented more strictly. No public transportation will be allowed, including in the Green Zone.[63]

Misinformation and conspiracy theories regarding coronavirus
Following the reports of coronavirus infection in Kerala, fake news regarding prevention, transmission and cure for coronavirus infection started circulating on the internet, particularly on the social media platform Whatsapp.[391][392]
One fake message claiming to be an advisory from UNICEF asks people to avoid ice creams to ensure that coronavirus cannot spread in temperatures over 27 degrees.[392]
T. P. Senkumar, former Kerala DGP, posted on social media that virus cannot survive in the hot and humid conditions in Kerala because the average summer temperature there exceeds 27℃.[393] Another fake news recommends intake of Vitamin C and drinking frequent sips of water as a preventive measure for coronavirus infection.[392]
Indian National Congress leader and Member of Parliament from Vatakara constituency, K. Muraleedharan claimed that the SARS Cov-2 virus cannot survive temparatures exceeding 30℃.[394]
Indian Union Muslim League MLA and a medical graduate, M. K. Muneer claimed in the Kerala Assembly that Indians have a special and a tough Immune System because we live amidst our filth and pollution, and were relatively safe from the virus infection.[395]
Another post on Facebook claimed falsely that if someone takes a deep breath and holds their breath for more than 10 seconds without coughing, without discomfort, stiffness or tightness, etc., it proves there is no (COVID-19 caused) fibrosis in the lungs, therefore indicating no infection.[396]
The claim that the vibration generated by clapping together during Janata curfew will kill the virus was debunked by the media.[397] One viral message says that the lifetime of coronavirus is only 12 hours and staying home for 14 hours during Janata curfew break the chain of transmission. Another message claimed that observing Janata curfew will result in the reduction of coronavirus cases by 40%.[398]
Economic loss
Tourism is a major contributor to the state's economy. Following coronavirus confirmation in Kerala, there were waves of cancellations of hotel bookings and tour packages.[399] Liquor sales in Kerala is a public sector undertaking, through which the government earns a significant revenue. However, following the outbreak, the sales have gone down, directly hitting the economy. The state's economy is largely dependent on NRI remittances and the economic slowdown of affected Gulf countries is expected to have a direct impact.[400] KSRTC, Kerala's state-owned public transport system has reported losses worth crores due to reduced number of travelers.[401] The practice of social distancing has also brought down the numbers of those who go out on weekends or do shopping, thus affecting local traders and vendors.[402]
