Chandigarh on Thursday reported nine new cases of Covid-19 as the total number of cases recorded reached 61,794.

The number of active cases has come down to 100 as 13 patients were discharged, including persons from home isolation who have completed 10 days and are asymptomatic, as per Ministry of Health guidelines.

As many as 1,683 samples were tested in the last 24 hours and 0.53 per cent of these were tested positive.

The number of people who have been cured till date is 60,885.

As many as 4,78,584 people have received the first dose of the Covid-19 vaccine while 1,07,712 have got both the doses.

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).
