Several people were seen outside a liquor shop in Kozhikode in the morning today.

The state government has launched mobile application BevQ to avoid crowding at the shops as a step to contain the spread of coronavirus. Only customers with application's e-token are allowed to purchase liquor.

The BevQ app supports both English and Malayalam languages. To use the application, users will need to provide their name, mobile number and their pin code.

The country is in the fourth phase of extended lockdown.
