From the evidence so far, the COVID-19 virus can be transmitted in ALL AREAS, including areas with hot and humid weather. Regardless of climate, adopt protective measures if you live in, or travel to an area reporting COVID-19. The best way to protect yourself against COVID-19 is by frequently cleaning your hands. By doing this you eliminate viruses that may be on your hands and avoid infection that could occur by then touching your eyes, mouth, and nose.

Curated Answers from Government Sources . Answered on June 14,2021I read a post which said something like this. If you are in Kerala, any of the members mentioned in the ration card have a house of more than 1000 sq ft, own a car, monthly income is more than 25000 and, you are an income tax payer, you can hold ONLY a white Ration Card. If you are holding a card of any other colours,you need to apply for and get the change one before 30 June 2021. Or else, there are some fines specified. Is it true ? The ration card on my wife's name in which I am also a member, is blue. In this Covid scenario when lockdown is enforced, how do I get the change done? Where and how do I apply for the change?
For this, contact the concerned TSO. Source: This answer is provided by Civil Supplies Department, Kerala
