Shimla, February 21

The positivity rate has come down to single digit. From February 13 to 19, no district recorded the positivity rate of above 10 per cent. Also, the total active cases are consistently on the decline—the number has come down to 1,919.

According to a government spokesperson, the highest positivity rate of 9.8 per cent was reported in Hamirpur district and the minimum of 1.9 per cent in Bilaspur.

The spokesperson said the 5 per cent to 10 per cent positivity rate had been recorded from five districts, Chamba, Kangra, Kinnaur, Mandi and Hamirpur, and the rest seven districts reported a positivity rate less than 5 per cent.

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).
