Covid black fungus panic
Hi,
I tested positive yesterday for covid. It's mild and am doing okay.
I have been using the same n95 mask for last two days. I noticed so many tiny black dots in that mask.
Could it be black fungus? Am I at risk

Don't panic. You are Immunocompetent. Not everyone infected with Covid falls prey to black fungus. So be worriless. Get yourself tested in person for better treatment and diagnosis.
Next Steps
Not to panic. Continue treatment for Covid. be quarantined.
