Kerala has set in motion the processes for issuing official COVID-19 death certificates and paying ex-gratia for the kin/legal heir of those who died of COVID-19 in the State. It is expected that the confusions and controversies over the State’s “missing” COVID-19 deaths will be laid to rest once this process is complete.
