Nawanshahr, December 24

The state president of the Indian Medical Association, Dr Paramjit Maan, has urged the government, the medical fraternity and the general public to brace up for a possible outbreak of Covid-19.

He said that in the wake of a surge of Covid-19 cases in some countries, there is a need for concerted efforts to ensure preparedness. “The government should immediately arrange the requisite medical facilities, including dedicated manpower, medicines and vaccines. An advisory needs to be issued to get people to adopt Covid-appropriate behaviour,” said Dr Maan. He added that the civil administration, the police, the medical fraternity and NGOs had done a lot in the fight against the pandemic.

Dr Maan has also urged the public to avoid travelling or participating in large gatherings.

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).
