Black Fungus In Tamil Nadu: 2700 people Infected Across Tamil Nadu

The Public started to panic regarding the black fungus since the number of people infected by this disease is increasing.

The mortality rate is low because the infection is detected immediately. The Government of Tamil Nadu is taking a different approach in dealing with this disease.
