- The Kerala government has sanctioned ₹9.96 crore in financial aid for families who lost their primary breadwinner to COVID-19.

- The funds come from the Chief Minister's Distress Relief Fund.
- The allocation was based on reports submitted by the District Collectors of Kozhikode, Ernakulam, and Pathanamthitta.
