While the world is battling the second wave of Covid-19, another infection, the fungus mycorrhizae, has slowly spread to the bodies of a few people admitted for the treatment of Covid-19, causing death. Mucormycosis, also known as "black fungus", is caused by a type of mold called mycorrhizae that is present in our surroundings. Although the presence of effective agents is sufficient, the disease itself is rare and affects those who are heavily immunocompromised and have comorbidities such as diabetes.
Covid-19 causes inflammation or swelling of the lungs which reduces the ability of the lungs to process oxygen. To relieve this, many patients are given steroid injections that reduce inflammation.

This is the area where water watchers are the main ones. When wearing protective equipment such as gloves, masks, shoes should be performed when shooting activities where there is a possibility of contact with the soil. Those who have any of the above mentioned comorbidities should take thorough precautions to avoid infection.
The incidence of post-covid-19 infections of myocardial infarction in India is on the rise and it is suggested that every person who was infected or infected with Covid-19 should take necessary steps to avoid infection. Anyone who shows signs and symptoms of myocardial infarction should report it to the nearest government hospital immediately and seek immediate treatment. Feeling.
