Antonio Banderas, who is widely known for his roles in The Mask of Zorro and Once Upon a Time in Mexico, among others, has tested positive for Covid-19. The actor took to Twitter to announce the news on Monday (August 10), which happened to be his 60th birthday. Antonio tweeted a long message in Spanish that translated into, “I want to make it public that today, August 10, I am forced to celebrate my 60th birthday in quarantine, having tested positive for the Covid-19 disease, caused by the coronavirus.”

He further wrote, “I would like to add that I feel relatively good, just a little more tired than usual and am confident that I will recover as soon as possible following medical instructions. I will take advantage of this isolation to read, write, rest and more. A big hug to everyone.”

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).
