On the other hand, speaking to reporters on the status of newly incoming Black Fungus infections in Maharashtra, Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar stated that there are currently 300 COVID-19 patients with the infection. Shortages of anti-fungal injection doses Amphotericin B exist on the other hand. As each patient requires six doses of injection per day, 1,800 doses are required everyday to treat the patients. And, unfortunately supply does not meet the demand yet.

As state government approached pharmaceutical companies for procuring the doses, it was in turn informed that the drugs are in control of Union Government. Although there is a declining trend in daily COVID-19 cases in the district and an increasing trend in recoveries, the increasing number of positive cases in rural areas is becoming a cause of concern.

When asked about the procurement of vaccines, Pawar said “The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has issued a global tender. During our consultation with Serum Institute of India (SII) and Bharat Biotech, they told us that they will ramp up the production in the near future.”
