Chandigarh, October 4

The city today recorded 85 new cases of Covid-19 and two deaths, taking the case tally to 12,445 and toll to 174.

An 87-year-old woman from Sector 19, a case of type 2 diabetes mellitus and hypertension, died at the GMCH, Sector 32.

A 67-year-old man from Mani Majra, a case of coronary artery disease and severe acute respiratory infections (SARI), also died at the GMCH.

As many as 202 patients were discharged from health centres and home isolation. The tally of cured patients has now reached 10,598, while 1,673 cases are still active in the city. The recovery rate has now crossed 84 per cent.

In the past one week, the number of new infections has grown by an average of 1.2 per cent every day. Chandigarh has conducted over 81,066 tests so far.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
