Chandigarh, January 26

Twenty-two more people died of Covid-19 in Punjab, while 5,136 fresh cases pushed the infection tally to 7,28,042, according to a medical bulletin issued here on Wednesday.

The fresh deaths were reported from several districts including Gurdaspur, Amritsar, Hoshiarpur, Jalandhar, Fatehgarh Sahib, Mansa and Mohali.

The death toll in the state has now climbed to 17,081, as per the bulletin.

The number of active Covid cases is 40,319.

Of the fresh cases, Mohali reported 765, Ludhiana 638 and Jalandhar 555.

A total of 1,206 patients are on oxygen support while 92 critical patients are on ventilator support, the bulletin stated.

As many as 7,238 more people recovered from the infection, taking the number of cured patients to 6,70,642, it said.

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).
