Chandigarh reported five more cases of coronavirus on Monday, officials said.

An NRI couple who recently returned from Canada and three other people tested positive, officials said on Monday.

They were all primary contacts of a coronavirus patient, the official said. Among the new patients was the mother of person who recently tested positive.

The three included the mother of the 23-year-old man.

All of them have been admitted to an isolation ward in GMCH-32.

This takes Chandigarh’s coronavirus cases to 13. The country’s tally meanwhile has shot past 1,000, with 29 recorded deaths.

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).
