On being asked about facilities like beds, ICUs and ventilators in Kerala to handle patients, Shailaja said, "We have about 1, 25,000 beds for COVID-19 patients as a part of plan A. According to our plan B, we can add more beds in private hospitals, hotels and even schools, if need arises."

Thiruvananthapuram: Kerala, the state which reported first positive case of coronavirus in India on January 30, has been putting all efforts since then in innovating and building better healthcare facilities to contain the further spread of COVID-19. When the state reported country’s first case, the patient was already kept in isolation and all contacts of the infected patient were traced within 24 hours as a precautionary measure to contain the spread.

Leading the fight from front against the deadly coronavirus in Kerala is its Health Minister KK Shailaja, who says, “The southern state reported its first positive case of the virus a month before New York, the city in US which has reported over 1 lakh positive cases so far, while Kerala has only 306 cases at this time.”
