Panchkula, June 5

A 19-yearold man tested positive for coronavirus on Friday, taking the district tally to 28.

District officials said the 19-year-old’s swab samples were taken for testing after his father was diagnosed with COVID-19. They both live in Panchkula’s Sector 12-A.

“The report of son (19) and wife (48) of the infected person from Sector 12A has been received. While the son is positive, wife’s negative,” Dr Rajiv Narwal, covid nodal officer for the district, said.

The patient has now been moved to an isolation ward in the civil hospital in Sector 6.

Panchkula has only two active cases now.

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).
