The first case of the COVID-19 pandemic in Kerala (which was also the first reported case in all of India) was confirmed in Thrissur on 30 January 2020.[3][4][5] As of 5 April 2022, there have been 65,34,352 confirmed cases, test positivity rate is at 2.04% (13.96% cumulative), with 64,62,811 (98.91%) recoveries and 68,197 (1.04%) deaths in the state.[6][note 1]

Initially, Kerala's success in containing COVID-19 was widely praised both nationally and internationally,[7][8][9][10][11][12][13] Following high number of cases being reported in March, Kerala had, by April 30, reduced the rate of increase of new cases to less than 0.25% per day. However, in mid-May, there was an increase or "second wave" of new cases, following the return of Keralites from other countries and other Indian states. In July, a large local group of cases was identified at the Kumarichantha fish market in Thiruvananthapuram. There was a third surge in cases post-Onam, with a high number of new cases reported in late-October in Malappuram, Kozhikode, Ernakulam and Thrissur districts. Active cases peaked at 97,525, and started to decline from November, before bouncing back to over 4,00,000 in May 2021 following the state elections.[14] On 12 May 2021 Kerala reported the largest single day spike with 43,529 new cases.[15] During 27–28 July Kerala reported 22,129 and 22,056 new cases respectively, accounting for more than 50% of daily new cases in India in those days.[16][17] The state, however, has the low case fatality rate in India - 1.05% - compared to the national average of 1.2%.[18]

Kerala now has the 2nd highest number of confirmed cases in India after Maharashtra. As of July 2021, more than 90% of known cases were due to community spread. The most number of cases are reported in Ernakulam (13.9%), Thiruvananthapuram (11.1%) and Kozhikode (10.1%) districts (Percentage of confirmed cases out of total confirmed cases in Kerala).[19][20] Cases per million population is highest in Ernakulam (2,85,100+), Kottayam (2,39,000+), Pathanamthitta (2,33,800+) and Thiruvananthapuram (2,27,400+) districts.
