Thiruvananthapuram: Two Indians, who were among the 363 brought back from Abu Dhabi and Dubai via special Air India flights that landed in Kerala on Thursday, have tested positive for the COVID-19 virus, said Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan during his daily press briefing.
One of them is being treated in Kozhikode, while the other is in Kochi, the government said.
The new cases have taken the number of coronavirus cases in the state to 505, with 17 people in hospital. There have been four deaths due to the virus, while 484 have been treated and discharged from hospitals.
The CM said that while the state had been successful in containing the COVID-19 virus so far, it must ready itself for a possible third wave of infection linked to the arrival of repatriated Indians.
