This has led to rising concern with the potential to stretch the capacity of an already burdened healthcare system. Moreover, the implications of this disease in the COVID-19 population and its consequences on the health and socio-economic structure of the country have not been vastly studied. This commentary explores the need for government efforts in the context of containing candidiasis during the pandemic and provides key recommendations on combating this imminent public health challenge.enWhite fungusCandidaMucormycosisCOVID-19IndiaFrom black to white: A roadmap to containing the rise of candidiasis amidst COVID-19 and mucormycosis in IndiaArticle
