Data Protection controversy
[edit]Should we include the controversy regarding the Kerala government allowing a private company to analyse covid data? I am asking because this seems to have now become more a political controversy than a strictly medical / technical one. Also, should we mention the alleged data leak in Kasargod district? --Jose Mathew (talk) 14:32, 28 April 2020 (UTC)
Don't think it's very necessary. If it's to be mentioned, it probably should be as short as possible. I don't think political controversies require detailed coverage. Jain Elizabeth (talk) 09:06, 9 May 2020 (UTC)
Remove the 'Timeline of events' section and create a 'Government response' section
[edit]I don't think there are many information in the section. Some of the information can be added to a new section 'Government response'(or something), and add the 'Break the chain' and Repatrating section also under that. As for the cases, there is a detailed timeline of cases in the 'Timeline of cases' section.TheunknownKiran (talk) 15:45, 28 May 2020 (UTC)
Testing
[edit]This page requires a section dedicated to statistics on number of samples tested. ChandlerMinh (talk) 06:17, 9 June 2020 (UTC)
- The statement "Kerala now has the 3rd highest number of confirmed cases in India after Maharashtra and Karnataka." should be put into context: there is a lot more testing going on here than in (for instance) UP, where the testing capacity is insufficient or (allegedly) even actively suppressed...

Page size
[edit]This article has 457,762 bytes of markup; that's far too large. The page should be split into several parts. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 14:23, 25 November 2020 (UTC)
- The gigantic day-by-day table needs to go, as does the one listing each individual death. Both provide excessive detail that could be easily summarized in more reader-friendly forms. pauli133 (talk) 02:57, 4 January 2021 (UTC)
- I can create a Timeline of the COVID-19 pandemic in Kerala article for the day-by-day table as well the section listing the individual deaths. Have some experience with the New Zealand and Malaysian articles so this should be manageable. Andykatib 10:17, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
