Patiala, July 28

Two Covid-19 cases were registered in city today. Officials at the Civil Surgeon’s office said two cases were reported from Kauli and Kahlomajra blocks.

Meanwhile, due to shortage of vaccine, residents of the city could not be jabbed against Covid. This is the second day in a row that the district Health Department is facing shortage of vaccines due to which vaccination drives could not be held.

Health Department officials said reports of two samples out of 1,993 came positive for the coronovairus.

The Patiala, Civil Surgeon Prince Sodhi, said one case each was reported from Kahlomajra and Kauli blocks. Senior medical officers of both the blocks were directed to carry out contact tracing and treatment of patients, he added.

Health officials also collected 1,805 samples for Covid test today.

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).
