The novel SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus that emerged in the city of Wuhan, China, last year has since become the COVID-19 pandemic across all continents. To restrict the spread of the virus pandemic, the Government of India imposed a lockdown from 25 March 2020. In India, Kannur district was identified as the first "hotspot" of virus transmission and a "triple-lockdown" was implemented for a span of twenty days from 20 April 2020. This article highlights the variations of surface O3, NO, NO2, CO, SO2, NH3, VOC's, PM10, PM2.5 and meteorological parameters at the time of pre-lockdown, lockdown and triple-lockdown days at Kannur town in south India using ground-based analyzers. From pre-lockdown days to triple-lockdown days, surface O3 concentration was found to increase by 22% in this VOC limited environment. NO and NO2 concentrations were decreased by 61% and 71% respectively. The concentration of PM10 and PM2.5 were observed to decline significantly by 61% and 53% respectively. Reduction in PM10 during lockdown and triple-lockdown days enhanced the intensity of solar radiation reaching the lower troposphere, and increased air temperature and reduced the relative humidity. Owing to this, surface O3 production over Kannur was found to have increased during triple-lockdown days. The concentration of CO (67%), VOCs (61%), SO2 (62%) and NH3 (16%) were found to decrease significantly from pre-lockdown days to triple-lockdown days. The air quality index revealed that the air quality at the observational site was clean during the lockdown.
Coronaviruses (CoV) are a large family of viruses that cause illness ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases such as Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS)-CoV and severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)-CoV1. On December 31, 2019, China informed the World Health Organization (WHO) about cases of pneumonia of unknown aetiology detected in Wuhan city, Hubei province of China. From December 31, 2019 to January 3, 2020, a total of 44 patients with pneumonia of unknown aetiology were reported to the WHO by the national authorities in China2. During this period, the causal agent was not identified. The cases initially identified had a history of exposure to the Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market3. The most common clinical features of the early clinical cases from Wuhan, China, were fever (98.6%), fatigue (69.6%) and dry cough (59.4%)4. The second meeting of the Emergency Committee convened by the WHO Director-General under the International Health Regulations (2005) regarding the outbreak of novel coronavirus 2019 in the People's Republic of China on January 30, 2020, declared COVID-19 outbreak as Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC)5. As on February 17, 2020, except China, 25 other countries have been affected by COVID-19 outbreak with 70,635 confirmed cases and 1,772 deaths in China. Outside China, 794 cases were reported with three deaths6.
We present here the first case of COVID-19 infection reported in Kerala, India. On January 27, 2020, a 20 yr old female presented to the Emergency Department in General Hospital, Thrissur, Kerala, with a one-day history of dry cough and sore throat. There was no history of fever, rhinitis or shortness of breath. She disclosed that she had returned to Kerala from Wuhan city, China, on January 23, 2020 owing to COVID-19 outbreak situation there. She was asymptomatic between January 23 and 26. On the 27th morning, she felt a mild sore throat and dry cough. She did not give a history of contact with a person suspected or confirmed with COVID-19 infection. She did not visit the Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market, however, she gave a history of travel from Wuhan to Kunming by train where she noticed people with respiratory symptoms in railway station and train. She received the instructions from the Kerala State authorities to visit a healthcare facility if she develops any symptoms because of the travel history to China.

Thrissur,Kerala's cultural capitalThrissur is another city that has made its place on the list of UNESCO GLC. It is known as the cultural capital of Kerala. The city is also a prime destination for some famous academic and research institutions. It is also a flourishing ground in the jewellery industry, especially gold. Thrissur is the headquarters of four leading private sector banks in India and an important number of chit funds.
A standing committee is takes all the key decisions on finance, development, health, education, welfare, public works and urban planning in the city. With its support, the city intends to integrate all sectoral and economic strategies into its master plan.
Renowned for its biriyani, one of the most favourite dishes for Malayalis, the city was an important centre of trade during the ancient times. It also served as headquarter of the French military base in the state. The region has a heavy influence of Arab culture that it gained over the years. The ritual performance art of Theyyam and the indigenous martial art form Kalaripayattu originate from the area.
Traveling between Cochin and Vietnam just got easier. Vietjet's aggressive expansion this year facilitated a new service between the Indian region of Kerala and Vietnam's largest city, with an initial four flights a week on offer.
"The inaugural flights on this momentous day operated at full capacity. It signifies the growing demand for direct connectivity between Kochi and Vietnam. "I am also optimistic about expanding this connectivity by introducing additional flights from other Vietnam cities to the Kochi route, thereby fostering stronger ties and facilitating seamless travel."
The return journey will be overnight, departing the city of Kochi just before midnight at 23:50, bound for Ho Chi Minh City as VJ1812. It has a scheduled arrival time back to Tan Son Nhat International Airport by 06:40 the following morning.
Alappuzha, called the Venice of the East, is a city of two lakh people that is sandwiched between the Arabian sea and the Vembanad lake. It has a unique network of canals of about 200 km length that criss-crosses the city. The city is home to 40,000 households that produce about 50 tonnes of solid waste every day. The water sanitation (Watsan) parks in the city specialise in the unique Thumboormuzhy mode of composting that is fundamental to the decentralised waste management experiments in Kerala.
The city has 28 Watsan parks with about 300 bins, each with the capacity to compost two tonnes of waste. These community composting plants are for those who are not able to compost biodegradables at source. Compost from these Watsan parks is currently distributed free to farmers, but this eventually could become a source of funding for the maintenance of the parks. Individual households are motivated to have their own waste management systems like vermicomposting, kitchen bins or biogas plants. Institutions like hotels, schools, hospitals etc can have their own system of waste treatment or can depend on agencies that that source waste for pig farms, fish ponds and poultry farms. Each of the Watsan parks have material collection facilities that will accept non-biodegradable waste in 20 different categories on fixed dates.
State capital Thiruvananthapuram also faced a public health emergency when the Vilappilsala treatment plant had to be closed down that used to absorb 200 tonnes of municipal waste every day. The city came up with an innovative campaign that motivated people to take the responsibility of the waste they created.
The city now has about 500 Thumboormuzhy bins in 45 locations as well as 40 material recovery centres. A specially designed mobile app Smart Trivandrum helped to develop a calendar for waste disposal. This is in addition to household management through kitchen bins, bio gas etc. Institutional waste is collected by approved agencies for pig, poultry and fish farms.
Its a city that shies away from being a city. There are no skyscrapers here aiming for the clouds or touristy wows, no fast cars racing down glitzy lanes, no night clubs where you can swing to hip hop or trance. Its name itself speaks of a rich slowness that some would say is rather unbecoming of a capital. But having a lolling moniker that visitors struggle to pronounce is one of the joys of being Thiruvananthapuram, a capital city content donning a small town cloak.
The citys most defining feature is the Padmanabhaswamy Temple of Lord Vishnu, canopied by the hooded serpent Anantha. It was at the altar of this temple that Marthanda Varma (1729-1758), the ruler who made Travancore a powerful political entity, dedicated his kingdom to the lord and ruled as a dasa or slave.
