Taking note of the increasing cases of black fungus infection and the expensive treatment involved, Deputy Chief Minister Laxman Savadi has said that the government was thinking of offering free treatment to patients from economically weaker sections of society. “The treatment includes 45 injections and 45 days of hospitalisation. It requires a lot of money and poorer sections of society cannot afford it. We are thinking of offering free treatment to poor patients and we will shortly take a decision after discussing it with Chief Minister B.S. Yediyurappa,” he said, during his interaction with mediapersons in Koppal on Monday. Earlier, the Deputy Chief Minister, who also holds the Transport portfolio, flagged off oxygen bus services for COVID-19 patients.
