Update required in 2020 coronavirus pandemic in Kerala by district
Update required in 2020 coronavirus pandemic in Kerala by district Refer https://dashboard.kerala.gov.in/index.php — Preceding unsigned comment added by 103.243.47.78 (talk) 14:52, 8 April 2020 (UTC)

T/P2P and PTP
As of now all cases in Kerala are either travel related or Contact from travel cases.How can it be PTP? can someone clarify?-Firos ak (talk) 15:51, 5 April 2020 (UTC)

Since the govt. Bulletin is not giving details about T/PTP and PTP,i think we can combine the T/PTPand PTP.-Firos ak (talk) 13:56, 11 April 2020 (UTC)


 * I think T and PTP is enough for KL page as we don't have individual details from govt,it says only Travel or contact transmission., anything to say on this
 * Yes, I think we should stick to the existing data from the bulletin, because it is not possible for us to know how the disease got transmitted to many persons tested positive. Once the government starts releasing that kind of information, we can consider adding that to the tables. -- Netha  (talk)  20:06, 12 April 2020 (UTC)

Total cases on 11 Apr
Total cases are 373( and deaths as 2) as per https://dashboard.kerala.gov.in/ in which they removed mahe native who died today.-Firos ak (talk) 15:34, 11 April 2020 (UTC)
 * The dashboard counts the number as per the native of the person. Mahe is considered as a district of Union Territory of Puducherry. So it may be the reason it is not counted in.- ❙❚❚ ❙❙ JinOy ❚❙❚ ❙❙ ✉ 16:02, 11 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Same on 12 apr too. Mahe case is completely removed from KL bulletin/Dashboard.Since Individual details are not provided daily bu govt it becomes difficult for us to remove it from wiki tale.Dashboard started showing district wise case details whereas daily bulletin shows based on Hospital admitted(many cases are handled outside districts).I think we can change district wise details as per Dashboard.?, ?-Firos ak (talk) 13:00, 12 April 2020 (UTC)
 * I think we should just stick to the dashboard and not count those outside of Kerala state. -- Netha  (talk)  20:03, 12 April 2020 (UTC)
 * can you discuss here the format of District wise template.I see again you changed my edits yesterday here-Firos ak (talk) 06:06, 13 April 2020 (UTC)
 * The template statics is completely based on Daily bullettin updates] by Government of Kerala.--Mims Mentor (talk) 09:49, 13 April 2020 (UTC)
 * The Daily bullettin shows as per hospital admission, whereas Dashboard is based on district of residence here.I think Dashboard has more relevance. Firos ak (talk) 13:14, 13 April 2020 (UTC)

Discharge details
Looks like we have too many tables in KL page.Any way to combine the new able with discharge details with old case table?something like this.?
 * How about adding one more column "Status" to the old table?Firos ak (talk) 14:20, 15 April 2020 (UTC)
 * And the timeline also looks redundant without much data,can be trimmed to important events i feel this.Firos ak (talk) 14:31, 15 April 2020 (UTC)

Added notes inside Infobox
Since the data in the Kerala bulletin / dashboard and the data in website of Ministry of Health and Family Welfare related to the total and death cases of Kerala, I have added 2 notes inside the Infobox.- ❙❚❚ ❙❙ JinOy ❚❙❚ ❙❙ ✉ 15:02, 21 April 2020 (UTC)

Update map in infobox
The map in the infobox needs to be updated. Also, only two districts (Alappuzha and Wayanad) now have <10 deaths, so 10 districts will be in the 10-29 range. It might be better to split this into 10-19 and 20-29. --Jose Mathew (talk) 13:50, 26 April 2020 (UTC)


 * Since the existing map is seriously out of date, and I cannot edit it, I am replacing it with a new map. Also, the new map shows cases per million residents, instead of absolute number of cases. I think this is more informative. --Jose Mathew (talk) 10:34, 30 April 2020 (UTC)
