Chandigarh reported 30 more coronavirus cases on Thursday, pushing the infection count in the Union Territory to 21,352.

No fresh fatality due to the disease was reported during the day, and the death toll stands at 348, according to a medical bulletin.

There are 150 active cases in the city as of now, the bulletin said.

Meanwhile, 22 more patients were discharged after they recovered from the infection, taking the number of those cured to 20,854.

A total of 2,39,648 samples have been tested for COVID-19 so far, and of these, 2,17,351 were found negative, while reports of 158 samples are awaited, the bulletin added. PTI

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).
