Chandigarh, December 27

Health Minister Chetan Singh Jouramajra today said no case of Omicron subvariant BF.7 has been detected in the state so far.

Jouramajra said adequate arrangements were in place to deal with any untoward situation. “People should not panic. There are a total of 38 active cases and no case of Omicron subvariant BF.7 has been detected in the state,” said the minister.

Around 15,000 beds have been made available at the government hospitals, said Jouramajra, adding that 1,000 beds of level 3, and 1,000 ventilators were readily available. He said oxygen plants had been tested and were in sufficient numbers.

The minister added that the government has no plan to impose any Covid-19 related restrictions or wearing of mask mandatory.

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).
