One more child has tested positive for Human metapneumovirus () in Puducherry, a senior official said on Monday. With this, the number of positive cases has gone up to three.

Director of Medical Services V Ravichandran said in a release that the baby had complaints including fever, cough and was admitted to JIPMER here on January 10. The child was recovering well, he said.

With this, the number of HMPV positive cases (all children) in Puducherry has risen to three. Earlier, two children in the age group of three and five years had tested positive for the virus.

The Puducherry Government has geared up infrastructure facilities in two state-run hospitals, the Director said.

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).
