The southern state also reported 79 deaths which raised the total fatalities in Kerala to 67,992, according to a government release.
Of the deaths, three were those which occurred in the last few days but were not recorded due to late receipt of documents and 76 were designated as COVID-19 deaths after receiving appeals based on the new guidelines of the Centre and the directions of the Supreme Court, the release said.
