Mucormycosis, a fungal infection, is being found in COVID-19 patients and largely in cases of those who are diabetic but there is "no big outbreak", Niti Aayog Member (Health) V K Paul said on Friday. The situation is being monitored and the treatment for mucormycosis is available, he said. This comes a day after a leading private hospital in Delhi flagged the rising number of COVID-triggered mucormycosis or black fungus cases.
