A paediatric senior doctor was quarantined at the PGI after a six-year-old boy from Uttar Pradesh tested positive for Covid. The doctor did not follow the protective guidelines. Another paediatric junior resident, who was treating a six-year-old boy from Ludhiana, was also placed under quarantine after the kid died of Covid on Sunday. The cause of death was acute liver failure, hepatic encephalopathy, refractory shock with respiratory failure and acute hepatitis.

Meanwhile, no fresh case was reported from the city for the fourth day in a row on Sunday. All 13 persons who returned to the city from abroad have tested negative.

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).
