Rising cases of a deadly fungal infection triggered by coronavirus have sparked an urgent warning from doctors.

GPs in India have sounded the alarm after a spike in cases of Mucormycosis in the last fortnight.

The infection can be deadly for patients with a weak immune system and can also lead to blindness, doctors said.

In New Delhi there have been more than two dozen cases in one hospital alone.

Dr Manish Munjal, a senior surgeon, told the Andolu news agency: “We are seeing a spurt in many cases…it is something to be noted.

"In the last 15 days, we have seen around 18 Mucormycosis cases coming into our OPD’s [outpatient department] and emergencies.
