What was everybody doing till now?” Yadav mentioned.
“The pandemic is not yet over. The number of infected people is increasing with more people being tested. The situation is uncontrollable in many districts. Black fungus patients from other districts are also coming to hospitals in Lucknow. There is no system of proper treatment for them. The government is also unable to provide life-saving injections for them,” he additional mentioned.
