Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infection caused by Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2). Many twists and turns have occurred regarding its various aspects since the time it was first detected especially medical management. The COVID-19 symptom array has been ever expanding and recently secondary fungal infection has emerged as a top-up to the trouble.
