Patiala, July 13

In the highest single-day spike, Patiala on Monday reported 59 new cases of coronavirus, taking the total in the district to 634.

Of the total cases, 35 were reported from Patiala city while five each were recorded in Nabha and Rajpura town.

Patiala Civil Surgeon Dr Harish Malhotra said that new cases included 14 people from the Excise Department. He said a Naib Tehsildar also tested positive.

Malhotra said that 35 cases were contacts of a positive patient while seven were interstate travellers.

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).
