Mohali, August 5

Mohali reported 62 fresh COVID-19 cases on Wednesday, taking the district total to 1,051.

The death toll stands at 17.

This is the highest ever spike Mohali has witnessed.

However, 10 infections have recovered from deadly disease and discharged from the hospital.

Most of the cases were recorded from Kharar, Derabassi, Zirakpur, Nyaagoan and Mohali city.

Civil Surgeon, Dr Manjit Singh, said that all the patients have been admitted to the COVID care centre in Gian Sagar Hospital in Banur. He added that all the patients were responding well to the treatment.

Out of 1,051 infections, 589 positive patients have been cured and discharged.

At present, the district reports 445 active cases.

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).
