Former Jammu and Kashmir CM and National Conference vice-president Omar Abdullah today said he had tested positive for Covid and had isolated himself.

“For a year, I did my best to dodge this damn (sic) virus but it’s finally caught up with me. I tested positive for Covid-19 this afternoon. I’m completely asymptotic. Based on medical advice I’m self-isolating at home and monitoring my parameters like oxygen saturation levels,” Omar said. He said for the next few days, he would focus on beating this virus and would be back after the battle was won. Omar’s father and NC chief Farooq Abdullah has recently recovered from Covid. — TNS

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).
