UT Adviser Manoj Parida on Friday announced that people could get themselves tested in private laboratories for COVID-19 in Chandigarh.

On the microblogging website, Parida revealed that people would not need a prescription to get themselves tested for the deadly disease, and that the test would cost around Rs, 2000.

“Good news.Any one can get himself tested in private laboratory for Corona,… no prescription needed now..Charges Rs 2000…,” read the UT Adviser’s tweet.

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).
