Delhi government on Tuesday ordered six state government hospitals to create 70 isolation rooms between them for management of suspected and confirmed cases of monkeypox.

Lok Nayak Hospital has been asked to create 20 isolation rooms, 10 each for suspect and confirmed cases.

Guru Teg Bahadur Hospital, Baba Saheb Ambedkar Hospital, Kailash Deepak Hospital, MD City Hospital and Batra Hospital have been told to create ten rooms each (5 for suspected and five for confirmed cases).

Of India’s eight confirmed monkeypox cases three are from Delhi.

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).
