Chandigarh, April 3

A sudden increase in Covid-19 cases has been witnessed in the state. However, the situation is completely under control.

According to the data compiled by the state Health Department, the cases have risen 10 times in the past three weeks in Punjab. In the past month, around 650 cases and three deaths have been reported in Punjab.

Till March 10, the daily average of cases was around five, now the state is getting 40-50 cases daily. At present, the number of active cases in the state is around 400. Of these, four patients are critical and admitted to tertiary care hospitals.

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).
