Punjab on Monday reported a coronavirus death and 54 new cases of the disease, taking the state’s death toll to 32 and case tally to 1,877.

A 91-year-old Jalandhar man, who had recently tested positive for coronavirus, died at CMC hospital in Ludhiana. With the latest case, Jalandhar’s COVID toll has risen to six. The man suffered from Severe Acute Respiratory Infection (SARI), a leading cause of death among coronavirus patients.

Jalandhar also reported 13 new coronavirus cases, taking the district’s case tally to 188. The patients, from Qazi Mohalla, are all contacts of a person who had previously tested positive for the deadly disease.

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).
