Why Kerala is the best holiday destination in COVID times?

Kerala state, lying in the southern tip of India offers a bright ray of hope. Having an able leader in KK Shailaja, the health minister of the state, and a chief minister who addresses his people every day through a press briefing about the latest developments related to COVID, Kerala has vigorously responded to the COVID-19 pandemic. Kerala’s crisis management experience from the 2018 floods and the Nipah virus outbreak stand us in good stead in fighting COVID 19 as well.

• Kerala has the highest recovery and lowest COVID mortality rate in India
• The largest number of COVID tests in the country is conducted in Kerala
• Kerala was the first state in India to provide telemedicine and the first to get ICMR approval for conducting Convalescent Plasma therapy and the only state in the country with two COVID 19 hospitals in every district.

Kerala – a medical tourism destination

Apart from nature and culture, Kerala has proved that we have the best medical care available in India, not just in traditional medical systems like Ayurveda, Sidha, Naturopathy, Panchakarma, Kalari, etc. but also in allopathy with a number of specialty hospitals that offer specialized care for complex medical conditions. In March, two 76-year-old UK tourists showing symptoms of Covid-19 are living witnesses to the utmost care and facilities provided by the district administration of Kochi. They recovered completely and contentedly returned to their homeland promising to visit God’s own country again.

Work from Resort

Since March, a good number of companies has asked their employees to take up work from home option. With children at home taking online classes and the daily humdrum at home, working from home in a quiet atmosphere is not feasible these days.

Probably that is the reason why ‘Work from Resort’ is a new trend that is catching the fancy among many who wish to work at peace. Many resorts like ‘Cliff Stories’ at Varkala are offering attractive packages with high-speed WiFi connectivity, printer, office furniture, and clean rooms in addition to thermal scanning, and other safety measures in place. In these hotels, you can have small get-togethers.

The staff in these resorts adheres to social distancing; do express check-in, conduct thermal scanning on everyone who walks in, and serves only ala carte meals.
