Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, what assessment he has made of the risk of covid-19 patients in the UK developing mucormycosis.

There has been a very low incidence of mucormycosis secondary to COVID-19 infections in the United Kingdom. Across 2020 and 2021, there have been 66 incidences of invasive fungal infection, of which only four incidences have been associated with COVID-19.
