Shimla, December 19

Even as Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu has tested positive for Covid-19, the health department says there is no need to worry as the situation was totally under control. “The positivity rate at the moment is much lower than even one per cent. So, there’s no need for any concern over the incident,” said an official from the Health Department.

Also, the number of active cases in the state has dropped to 17 and only six patients are admitted to hospitals for Covid-19.

However, the government has not stopped testing for Covid-19. On Monday, 371 individuals were tested and just one of them was found positive for Covid.

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).
