Kerala is one of the few States to publish activity trails of people who were identified as infected with the novel coronavirus. This was useful for contact-tracing purposes. An excerpt from one such actual activity trail of five patients from Pathanamthitta
is presented below (images are representational and not of one person alone). Before their symptoms peaked, those infected visited a variety of places including hotels, post offices, banks, shopping centres and bus stops. Around the time the trail ended,
only 11 people were under home isolation in Pathanamthitta. The number grew to 4,565 as of Monday, and many of whom could have been in contact with these patients. The more the infected persons travelled, the higher the risk of the spread
