Chandigarh, January 22

The city on Friday reported 1,149 new Covid-19 cases at a positivity rate of 21.03% per cent.

The cumulative number of cases has reached 84884, while the active case figure stands at 8,614. As many as 5717 samples were tested in the past 24 hours.

The city had yesterday reported 1,1172 cases and two deaths were reported among patients with co-morbidities. An 80-year-old woman of Mani Majra died at Ace Heart and Vascular Institute, Mohali. She was a case of severe heart disease, lung disease, hypertension and diabetes mellitus. She was fully vaccinated.

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).
