The Civil Surgeon’s office on Wednesday confirmed 37 new cases of Covid-19. Of these, 14 individuals had influenza-like symptoms, two had visited the OPD, four were contacts of positive patients, one was undertrial and four other persons.

According to the Department of Health and Family Welfare, Punjab, a total of 1,14,056 positive cases and 3,023 deaths due to Covid-19 have been reported in Ludhiana district to date.

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).
