Chandigarh, January 12

Punjab appears to be heading for the worst on the Covid front as the state reported 10 deaths and 6,481 new cases over the past 24 hours.

According to the medical bulletin released on Wednesday, the state reported 6,481 cases, which were one of the highest in the recent past.

In district-wise break-up, Patiala reported three deaths, Hoshiarpur two and Bathinda, Fatehgarh Sahib, Fazilka, Jalandhar and Ludhiana one each. Besides, 12 patients are critical. As many as 80 patients are receiving treatment in level-three of critical care and 290 are on oxygen support.

SAS Nagar topped the chart with 974 new infections, followed by Patiala 906, Ludhiana 724, Jalandhar 654 and Hoshiarpur 571. Covid testing has also increased as the Health Department conducted 34,529 tests over the past 24 hours. —

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).
