Chandigarh reported 801 new Covid-19 cases over the last 24 hours, a health bulletin from the union territory’s administration said on Tuesday.

Chandigarh’s active cases now stand at 3,924—a 700% rise from last Tuesday.

The UT also recorded two deaths—a fully vaccinated 55-year-old woman who had suffered from a seizure disorder and a 60year-old man who had only one dose of the Covid-19 vaccine. Its total fatality count now stands at 1,083.

Some 3,446 samples were taken for testing. Chandigarh’s positivity rate stood at 23.24 per cent on Tuesday—marginally higher than a day ago.

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).
