Shimla, June 11

Congress stalwart and former Himachal Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh has again tested positive for Covid at the IGMC in Shimla.

Virbhadra Singh had first tested positive on April 12, following which he was admitted to Max Hospital in Mohali and then shifted back to Shimla.

The six-time Chief Minister has been recuperating at the hospital for over a month for diabetes and kidney-related ailments. Doctors are learnt to be planning a new course of treatment for him.

“He has tested positive again. He was running a fever following which he was tested. The report has come positive today,” said IGMC Principal Rajnish Pathania.

Singh had taken his first dose of vaccine on March 3.

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).
