										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>New year, new crisis for the scientists and doctors. As Covid continues to claim lives in it&#8217;s second wave, Black Fungus or Mucormycosis on the other hand is growing at a rapid pace too. The experts are of the opinion that Black Fungus is affecting people recovering/ recovered from covid. The doctors have also noted that compared to the first wave of Covid there are more cases of black fungus in the second.</p>
<p>Just yesterday, 19th May the Governement of Rajasthan had declared it as an epidemic and today comes in reports from Maharashtra. In Maharashtra, 1500 cases have been reported so far and 90 people have lost their lives to it. The state Public Health Minister, Rajesh Tope has warned against indiscriminate use of steroids in the treatment of covid. &#8220;It is serious it should not be taken lightly&#8221;, he added.</p>
<p>Other than Rajasthan and Maharasthra, there are minor cases in other states too. Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Uttrakhand, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Chattisgarh, Delhi and Madhya Pradesh are among the other infected states.</p>
