A Covid care centre has come up at Panjab University International Hostel in Sector 25 where patients can get themselves admitted on a payment basis.

Earlier, the UT Administration had roped in James Hotel to function as a Covid care centre on a payment basis from August 16 with certain conditions. However, the hotel sought to be exempted and the Administration acceded to its request.

Doctors and nurses from Government Multi-Specialty Hospital in Sector 16 (GMSH-16) have been deployed at the new Covid care centre. The hospital will take care of sanitisation and disposal of medical waste generated there. An ambulance will be provided by the Additional Deputy Commissioner, UT.

Charges collected from patients will be deposited in the Covid Care Fund.

A UT spokesperson said, “The facility will be available to doctors of the GMSH-16 and the GMCH-32, who contract infection and are asymptomatic. However, no charges will be taken from them.” — TNS

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).
