Chandigarh, February 12

Chandigarh reported 87 new Covid-19 cases in the last 24 hours, a bulletin from the UT’s administration showed on Saturday.

The UT’s active cases stand at 686.

The bulletin recorded two deaths—a 70-year-old unvaccinated who suffered from Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease and a 28-year-old woman who was brought dead and tested positive posthumously. She had taken only one shot of the Covid vaccine, the bulletin showed.

Chandigarh’s daily positivity rate currently stands at 3.22 per cent. Its total fatality count since the pandemic in 2020 began is 1,151.

The bulletin showed 127 recoveries.

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).
