Even though single-day cases have nearly touched the 100 mark in the city, the hospital bed occupancy is only 1.7 per cent.

The active cases in the city stand at 458 and the weekly positivity rate is 5.59 per cent.

During the third wave, the daily cases in the city nearly touched the 100 mark for the first time on January 3 this year, while only 26 hospital beds were occupied in the hospitals. There are nearly 1,500 beds for Covid patients at private and government hospitals in the city. The number of active cases was 320 when the city first touched the 100 mark in the third wave.

On March 6 last year, when the city had for the first time reported a new high of 122 single-day cases, 77 seriously-ill patients were admitted to the PGI Covid block. In the entire city, over 100 patients were admitted to hospitals and there were 675 active cases.

The city had exhausted its 30-40 per cent bed capacity in the second wave. The surge in the third wave came with the spread of the Omicron variant. As far as the present surge is concerned, experts are attributing it to the Omicron and its sub-lineage, which is why the severity of the disease is low. Most patients admitted to hospitals have only mild symptoms. — TNS

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 four 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 paper. 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).
