Fatehgarh Sahib, August 9

Forty-one persons tested positive for Covid in Fatehgarh Sahib today.

The cases include 12 from Mandi Gobindgarh town and five from the Amloh SDM office, taking the district tally to 506.

Civil Surgeon Surinder Singh said 19,779 samples had been collected so far of which 506 had tested positive for Covid-19.

He said 365 had been cured and discharged from the hospital and there were 136 active cases.

He said two areas in the district have been declared micro-containment zones — Surjit Mohalla of Mandi Gobindgarh and Amloh SDM office area.

He said all activities in the areas marked as micro-containment zones had been stopped and house-to-house survey was being conducted and samples of residents were being taken.

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).
