Chandigarh, July 28

Chandigarh recorded five new Covid-19 cases over the last 24 hours, a health bulletin from the Union territory’s administration said on Wednesday.

The UT’s active cases now stand at 36, with an average positivity rate of 0.24 per cent over the last seven days.

Chandigarh has reported no death since July 5. Its fatality stands at 809.

Some 1,630 swabs were tested over 24 hours, the bulletin showed. Chandigarh recorded six recoveries on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, 7,29,822 people over 18 have been given at least one dose of the Covid-19 vaccine. Of that number, 1,82,518 are 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).
