Chandigarh, July 5

Chandigarh reported seven new Covid-19 cases, a health bulletin from the union territory’s administration said on Monday—the lowest reported since March when cases began to spiral because of the deadly second wave of the pandemic.

The UT also reported one more death on Monday—the first one since last week.

Chandigarh’s active cases now stand at 116, with a fatality count of 809.

The UT’s positivity rate over the last week has been 0.67 per cent.

Some 1,502 samples were tested over the last 24 hours. The bulletin showed 38 people as having recovered over the same period.

Meanwhile, the UT’s covered 7,09,180 people over 18 in its vaccination programme so far—at least 4,66,337 of these have been given the first dose, and 1,000,01 are fully vaccinated, the bulletin showed.

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).
