Chandigarh reported two deaths and 188 fresh COVID-19 cases on Thursday, taking the Union Territory’s death toll to 43.

So far, this is the highest single-day rise in the city.

The city’s coronavirus tally stands at 3,566.

COVID-19 deaths:

A 75-year-old male—a resident of Sector 46—died at GMCH-32. He tested positive on 24th August. He had severe acute respiratory failure.

Another, 54-year-old male—a resident of Sector 41—was detected with high uncontrollable sugar. He tested positive on 21st August. He also had a complex lung injury, that led to respiratory failure and cardiac arrest at GMCH-32.

Meanwhile, the city has 1,544 active cases.

About 181 patients recovered from the deadly disease, and were discharged from the hospital.

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).
