Thiruvananthapuram recorded its tenth COVID-19 death after a 73-year-old man died owing to the disease on Thursday. The capital district’s COVID-19 caseload remained on the higher side as 222 people, including seven health workers, tested positive for SARS-CoV-2. The development pushed the Vattiyurkavu police station into further turmoil after three of its officials had earlier been diagnosed with COVID-19. A Pulluvila native who appeared for the recent KEAM examination also tested positive. A parent of another candidate also tested positive for the virus.
