Hoshiarpur, March 21

Moranwali resident, who was in touch with the Nawanshahr man, has tested positive for Covid. He was admitted to the isolation ward of the Civil Hospital, Hoshiarpur, yesterday. The elderly man is a “Pathi” (priest) in a gurdwara at Pathlava. Civil Surgeon, Hoshiarpur, Dr Jasvir Singh said his family members were in quarantine at Binewal village. They have not been diagnosed with the infection as of now.

The Civil Surgeon said so far, samples of eight suspected patients had been taken, of which one had tested positive.

He said health officials were trying to identify his contacts. At Moranwali village, teams are going door to door to create awareness and trace suspects.

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).
