A 76-year-old man, who had come from Pune late last month, died of coronavirus in Jodhpur’s MDM Hospital in the wee hours of Thursday.

This is the seventh death in Rajasthan due to the deadly virus after two deaths were reported from Bhilwara, one each from Alwar, Jaipur, Kota and Bikaner, the State Medical and Health Secretary (ACS) Rohit Kumar Singh said in a bulletin here.

The deceased living in Pratapnagar area of Sun City (Jodhpur) was on medical emergency and brought to the MDM Hospital under the unconscious condition at 10 pm, and he succumbed to his coronavirus at 12:30 am.

Till 2 pm on Thursday, 47 more people were tested corona positive in parts of Rajasthan raising the inflicted people’s tally to 430.

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).
