ERNAKULAM : Differences over covid-19 negative certificates have led to tensions in Kerala. The Union government has raised strong objections to the state government’s direction that expats should have such certificates before flying into the state.
The Centre has said that its objection is based on “practical difficulties".A final decision will be taken following discussions with the Centre over the next few days, Kerala’s chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan said on Tuesday.The move, the state government said, was to prevent those not exposed to the virus becoming infected on the plane, eventually increasing the caseload in Kerala.
