Ahmedabad:
The Gujarat High Court on Monday said it was concerned about cases of mucormycosis, also known as black fungus, emerging in the state and asked the government to prepare for the new challenge.
It directed the state government to place on record a road-map on how it intends to proceed if the number of cases of the fungal infection rise.
Of late, the black fungus, a rare but serious infection, has been found in several COVID-19 patients in Gujarat and some other states.
