He said the first round of the survey was conducted in August 2020 in which the prevalence of infection was found to be 8% while it was 14.8% in the second round in October 2020. He said about 2,200 medical staff had been deputed to conduct the survey and the report would be submitted within two weeks. Vij said said children above 6 years would also be covered in the survey and it would also be conducted in rural and urban areas. — TNS

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).
