Cases of a usually very rare but deadly infection known as mucormycosis, or black fungus, in coronavirus patients have also declined in many areas. The rise in these fungal infections, contracted by several thousand people, has been blamed on the excessive use of steroids to treat Covid patients. The total caseload now stands at almost 30 million with 380,000 deaths, although many experts say the true toll could be over a million. This (was) the second wave of Covid. The country added 2,542 deaths overnight to bring its total fatalities to 379,573.
