Former Prime Minister H D Deve Gowda on Wednesday said he and his wife Chennamma have tested positive for COVID-19.

“My wife Chennamma and I have tested positive for COVID-19. We are self-isolating along with other family members,” the 87-year-old JD(S) patriarch tweeted.

“I request all those who came in contact with us over the last few days to get themselves tested. I request party workers and well-wishers not to panic,” he added.

Chief Minister B S Yediyurappa has wished for the speedy recovery of the former Prime Minister and his wife. — PTI

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).
