Sonepat, July 27

A 30-year-old professor of Jindal Global Law University in the district was admitted to a hospital here on Tuesday after he allegedly showed monkeypox symptoms, but the test reports received this evening showed it wasn’t a case of monkeypox.

Civil Surgeon Dr Jai Kishor, however, said he would be kept in isolation at his home as a precautionary measure.

He said the patient had symptoms like that of monkeypox. He had returned from Kerala by flight 10 days ago. He came to the hospital after developing rashes on the body. He was kept in the isolation ward of the hospital and later asked to isolate at his house, he added.

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).
