Thiruvananthapuram: The Covid review meeting has decided to discontinue antigen testing in private labs as the first dose of vaccination in the state has reached 90 percent.
A special drive will be conducted to identify and vaccinate those who are over 65 years of age and have not been vaccinated yet, as soon as possible. Public awareness campaigns will be strengthened as the mortality rate is higher among those who do not receive the vaccine.
The CM suggested that a contact ban should be ensured through RRTs and neighborhood committees.
