Minister in-charge of Udupi and Home Minister Basavaraj Bommai on Monday instructed the Udupi district administration to reserve 10 beds in Udupi government district hospital to treat patients affected by black fungus.
Reviewing the COVID-19 situation in Udupi through a video conference from Bengaluru, the Minister said that a person died due to black fungus infection in Udupi. Another patient with black fungus infection has been shifted for treatment to the Government Wenlock Hospital in Mangaluru. As patients infected with black fungus from other districts too are getting admitted in hospitals in Udupi district, more medicine is required for treatment and it will be supplied to the district.

The Udupi district administration, which had shifted all medical services from the Kundapur Taluk Hospital to Udupi, reverted the decision on Thursday following objections from MLC and former Legislative Council chairperson K. Pratapchandra Shetty.
Mr. Shetty in a letter to Deputy Commissioner G. Jagadeesha on Wednesday opposed the shifting of outpatient and inpatient services from the taluk hospital to the district hospital in Udupi and converting the taluk hospital into a COVID-19 hospital.
