New Delhi. New innovations are being done every day to protect the common man from the Coronavirus Pandemic. In this series, Kerala State Coir Corporation (KSCC), a company of the Government of Kerala, has also joined. KSCC has made coir mats from coconut coir, which have the facility of sanitization. Due to this specialty, these mats are capable of preventing corona (Anti-Covid Health Plus Mats) from entering the houses through shoes and slippers. This will provide protection to people from Covid-19 and on the other hand will also provide relief from business crisis in the sluggish economy. These have been named Anti-Covid Health Plus Mats.
According to Kerala Finance Minister TM Thomas Issac, due to Covid-19, the demand for coconut coir products in the domestic and international markets fell drastically, so work was started on a new idea. Its price is Rs 200.
Isaac said that in the financial year 2020, the coil production in the state increased almost three times to 20 thousand tonnes, while the neighboring state of Tamil Nadu remained under lockdown. Kerala is dependent on Tamil Nadu for its fiber needs.

According to the news in English newspaper Hindu BusinessLine, National Coir Research and Management (NCRMI) and Sreechitra Tirunal Institute for Medical Science and Technology have developed a new coconut mat.
Both of them have done this work in the last one and a half months. Since these mats have sanitizing solutions, if you rub your shoes and slippers on them and enter the house, Corona cannot enter. These mats will be sold with a kit, which will have a tray and sanitizer.
Isaac said that the company will conduct field trials of the new mat in Alappuzha and will start selling it from July. In the first phase, Anti Covid Health Plus mats will be delivered to every panchayat, municipal body and related institutions. In the second phase, these will be available to the general public.
The company is also planning to make choir cots and use and throw mattresses for COVID-19 patients in collaboration with choir board. These products will be made available at affordable prices.
