Coronavirus LIVE, 7th May, Friday: Doctors at a leading private facility in Delhi are witnessing a rise in the number of Covid-triggered mucormycisis cases, according to a statement from the hospital.
Mucormycisis is a fungal infection triggered by COVID-19. Black fungus or mucormycosis has been a cause of disease and death of patients in transplants, ICUs and immunodeficient patients since long.
The national capital must get at least 700 tonnes of oxygen everyday, as requested by the Delhi government to meet the needs of the city’s COVID-19 patients, the Supreme Court told the centre on Thursday.
Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said the city has been getting roughly half the quantity of oxygen it has been officially allocated, while neighbouring BJP-ruled states like Uttar Pradesh and Haryana have been prioritised.
Kerala on Thursday announced a complete lockdown from May 8 and extended up to May 16 due to surge in covid-19 cases. Strict lockdown-like restrictions are already in place in the southern state reported 42,464 fresh COVID-19 cases, the highest single-day count so far, pushing the tally to 17,86,396, while 63 more patients succumbed to the infection, taking the toll to 5,628, the state government said.
