Kerala: The kerala government issued new lockdown guidelines where even small areas will be classified as micro containment zones based on the number of COVID-19 cases. State has been reporting more than 20,000 cases every day for the past few days.
The Kerala government stated in new guidelines that a joint family having 10 members will also be considered as a micro containment zone, if any member tests positive for coronavirus. State Minister for Culture and Cinema, Saji Cherian said that allowing movie halls to operate is impossible at the moment as the daily positivity rate just recently touched the 15 percent mark.

Saji Cherian also said, “So with the TPR continuing to remain high we will not be able to allow permission for movie halls to open. Let us wait for the TPR to fall below 8 percent and once it does, we will decide then. We all know that the entire film industry here is struggling, but what can be done, we all have to be patient. Perhaps by December, we are expecting everything to be normal.”
