Panchkula reports 26 COVID-19 cases on Wednesday, taking the district total to 181.

This is the biggest single-day spike in the district.

Out of the 26 cases, seven Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP) personnel tested positive for the deadly disease.

Earlier, a 42-year-old woman from Sector 7 and a 55-year-old woman of Sector 26 had tested positive.

The Civil Surgeon, Dr Jasjit Kaur, said both patients had been admitted to the isolation ward of the Civil Hospital in Sector 6.

She said the Health Department had deputed teams to collect samples of the patients’ family members and their contacts for testing.

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).
