Kerala reported 702 new COVID-19 cases in the previous 24 hours, nearly 100 more than Delhi reported in the same period, comparative data from the two regions showed Tuesday evening. The decrease in the number of cases recorded per day in the national capital is significant, given it is the third worst-affected region in the country - with 1.31 lakh cases overall - and frequently reported over 1,000 new cases per day in recent weeks.
