Toronto, April 27

The government of Ontario will be getting help from Canada’s military in dealing with a surge of Covid infections, while several other Canadian provinces are tightening health restrictions in hope of avoiding a similar situation.

Ontario’s solicitor general says resources are coming from the Canadian armed forces and the Canadian Red Cross. Ontario has been struggling with a new wave of the pandemic that has seen the number of patients in intensive care surge.

Several other provinces imposed new restrictions, including Nova Scotia, which closed Halifax-area schools to in-person learning for two weeks after the province witnessed a single-day record for new cases for the second day in a row. — 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).
