Israel restricted its Covid “green pass” on Sunday to allow only those who have received a vaccine booster dose or recently recuperated from Covid to enter indoor venues

Technical problems hamstrung the Health Ministry’s rollout of the updated pass, a kind of digital vaccination passport, as millions tried to reissue digital documentation that would allow entry to shops, restaurants, cultural events, gyms and other indoor venues

Scores of Israelis staged demonstrations across the country in protest against the “green pass” system. AP

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).
