New Delhi, February 13

The Covid pandemic continued to contract on Sunday with daily cases falling below 50,000 for the first time in 40 days.

India reported 44,877 infections, with active cases falling to 5,37,045.

In another milestone, more than 70 per cent of adolescents aged between 15 and 18 years received the first dose of vaccine. “Young India further strengthens the world’s largest vaccination drive. More than 70 per cent of our youngsters in the 15-18 age group have received their first dose,” Health Minister Mansukh Mandaviya said on Twitter.

The estimated population of youth in the 15-18 age bracket is 7.4 crore. Of them, 1.47 crore have been fully vaccinated with two Covaxin doses. —

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).
