The UT today recorded 81 fresh cases of Covid-19, taking the tally to 1,751. Of these, 700 are active cases. As many as 1,023 patients have been discharged after recovery.

The UT has reported 26 deaths so far. Eight patients were discharged after recovery today. A total of 19,141 people have been tested so far.

A 34-year-old man from Sector 21 allegedly committed suicide at his home by hanging himself on Monday. He tested positive for Covid posthumously. The case has not been counted in the UT tally.

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).
