Fatehgarh Sahib, December 10

Teams of the District Health Department collected samples of all staff and students of Government High School, Badwala, where a teacher had tested positive for Covid.

The Senior Medical Officer, Dr Bhupendra Singh, said 109 samples were taken from the school. He said due to increasing cold and pollution in the weather, people were facing health problems. In such a situation there were chances of spreading many diseases, he added. Everybody, especially pregnant women, the elderly or those, who were suffering from any disease, should get their health checked from time to time and follow doctors’ advice, he said. He urged people to get inoculated and follow instructions of the department regarding Covid prevention. — OC

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).
