Chandigarh, May 7

State Health Minister Anil Vij today released home isolation kits for Covid patients.

Vij said the kits had been prepared by the Health and Ayush Departments. It comprised 15 items, including an oximeter, digital thermometer, steamer, a three-layer mask, Ayush kwath, giloy ghanvati, Anu oil, ORS, and a booklet with complete information related to Covid.

The minister said the cost of the kit was Rs 5,000, but it would be made available free of cost to all patients in home isolation.

Vij said at present, there were 98,000 patients in the state, who were in home isolation. For the systematic treatment of these patients, these kits would be delivered by health staff.

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).
