Chandigarh, December 28

Chandigarh on Monday reported 65 fresh coronavirus cases, taking the infection count to 19,551, according to a medical bulletin.

The death of an 86-year-old man pushed the toll to 316 and the city has 379 active COVID-19 cases.

Forty-six more patients were discharged after they recovered from the infection, taking the number of cured persons to 18,856, as per the bulletin.

A total of 1,77,441 samples have been taken for testing so far and of them, 1,56,995 tested negative while reports of 95 samples were awaited, it said. PTI

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).
