An Iran-returned pilgrim from Leh district was today tested positive for Covid-19, taking the total number of active positive cases in Ladakh to 21.

According to the UT administration’s media bulletin, the sample report of the Iran returnee from Leh district tested positive for Covid-19. Now, there are a total of 21 active positive cases in Ladakh — 19 in Leh and two in Kargil district.

“The condition of all 21 active Covid-19 cases of Ladakh is stable,” the media bulletin said.

On Wednesday, 72 samples were sent to the National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC), New Delhi, for testing. Out of these, 52 samples were of Leh district and 20 of Kargil district.

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).
