Covid Positive (Steriods) - My Father Age :55 Yrs Was Diagnosed

Covid Positive (Steriods)

Asked for Male, 27 Years

My father Age :55 yrs was diagnosed with covid on 03rd May and was on oxygen from 3rd to 11th May. His CT score on 11th May was 13/25 and CRP was 25. The blood sugar random was 374 on 9th may. The prescription contains Steriod omnacartil 20 mg twice for 5 days, then 20 mg once for 5 days and 10 mg for 5 days. Is this Steriod dosage is proper? As I have read that Steriod usage can cause black fungus...he has no symptoms yet...but do we need to worry? Attached is the prescription of doctor.
