Chandigarh on Thursday reported four new coronavirus cases, taking the union territory’s case tally to 374.

Out of the four cases, two have been reported from Sector 31.

A 32-year-old woman, along with her one-and-a-half-year-old daughter, tested COVID-19 positive. Earlier, this woman’s husband was found positive.

Another case was reported in Sector 43.

A 43-year-old man tested positive for the deadly disease. He was admitted to GMSH-16 with Influenza-like Illness (ILI).

A 30-year-old male migrant worker living in rented accommodation in Manimajra was reported to be positive for Covid-19.

He travelled to Amritsar on June 9 and returned to Chandigarh on June 11. He developed fever on June 13 and was hospitalised on June 16. He has 12 community contacts, all of whom have been shifted to institutional quarantine.

On Wednesday, five more COVID-19 cases were reported from the city. Three of the fresh cases were reported from Sector 25 and two from Ram Darbar.

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).
