Shimla, March 23

The Covid-19 cases have risen sharply in the state in the recent past. From 100 active cases on March 14, the count has risen to 285 within about a week. Today, 73 positive cases were reported, the highest in several months.

The positivity rate over the past few days was higher than 5 per cent. On Thursday, the positivity rate was 8.6 per cent. Of 285 active cases, only 10 patients admitted to hospitals.

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).
