Black Fungus cases in India are on the rise, states are reporting enormous number of cases daily. While, Delhi recorded 197 cases, Health Minister Satyendra Jain said on Friday.
“Once the black fungus is confirmed, don’t take medicines on your own and contact your doctor,” he told reporters amid growing cases of mucormycosis or ‘black fungus’ in the national capital.
The city government has decided to open dedicated centres at three hospitals for the treatment of the disease in Covid-19 recovered patients, he informed. These centres will be opened at the Lok Nayak Jai Prakash (LNJP), Guru Teg Bahadur (GTB), and Rajiv Gandhi hospitals.
