After six cases of mucormycosis were reported in the city, the Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation (NMMC) on Wednesday started outpatient department (OPD) at its three hospitals in Nerul, Vashi and Airoli. “Post recovery from COVID-19, patients who have diabetes, kidney ailments, or history of organ transplant are at a higher risk of contracting mucormycosis. Hence, the NMMC call centre has been asked to keep tabs on all the recovered patients from 10 days to six weeks when they are most vulnerable to the fungal infection,” NMMC Commissioner Abhijit Bangar said.More Related News
