Chandigarh, June 26

A seven-month-old baby boy and a 25-year-old woman tested COVID-19 positive on Friday, taking the city count to 425.

The 25-year-old woman from Bapudham Colony is Chandigarh’s second positive case on Friday. Four of her family members are all asymptomatic. The total cases in the city reached 425 of which 84 are active cases.

The baby was a close contact of Sector 22 resident who had tested positive on Thursday.

Similarly, 21 contacts of a Sector 22 positive case have been home-quarantined.

His five family members have been tested for the virus.

However, seven patients — five from Sector 25 and one each from Sector 26 and Ram Darbar — were discharged on Thursday.

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).
