Italy on Saturday announced it wouuld ease travel restrictions from Monday, allowing people to move freely inside the region where they live. Travelling to other regions and countries will be allowed from June 3.

Italy imposed nationwide lockdown in early March after it became the first country outside Asia with a major outbreak of coronavirus. More than two lakh people are infected and 31,000 people have died, leaving Italy with the highest death toll after the US and Britain. But the government, led by Premier Giuseppe Conte, has gradually reopened the country as the rates of infections and deaths have fallen. — Agencies

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).
