More than 30 flagship media across the globe lauded Kerala as a striking outlier in the management of Covid-19 pandemic, surpassing some of even world’s most developed countries.
BBC and a few other news majors had brought Kerala early on into spotlight when the state reported India’s first coronavirus outbreak, but prevented the spread with its health systems ramped up in high gear. Later, as surges erupted in states around the country, Kerala, which carefully up kept its testing, tracing and treatment mechanism with high vigil, flattened the infection curve. At that point when, the country and nations around the world began to witness rapid spread, world media hoisted Kerala as an incredible model, highlighting its uncompromising mitigation measures and committed government because of which, the state despite its porous borders, a large number of migrant workers and huge expatriate population traveling to and fro, emerged as the safest place to be. The news clips and articles also put spotlight on the state government’s diligence on its people’s welfare amid lockdown conditions, opening community kitchens, distributing free rations and expanding its covid care facilities in rapid pace.
Among countries whose media houses hailed the Kerala model were Britain, U.S., Canada, Italy, France and Arab nations. Here are links to some compelling stories on Kerala’s Covid fight put out by them :
