WASHINGTON, December 17

US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released a new strategy called ‘test-to-stay’ that allows unvaccinated children to stay in school even if they have been exposed to COVID-19, the institute’s director Rochelle Walensky said on Friday.

“If exposed children meet a certain criteria and continue to test negative , they can stay at school instead of quarantining at home,” she said. Reuters

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).
