Rtpcr is not recommended.
Keep mask on for 15 days since onset of symptoms. This is for the safety of your family members.
Risk factors for Mucor :
Uncontrolled diabetes
Hospital environment contamination
Steroids high dose
Immunosuppression

Unsterile masks
You have no risk factors.
It's a good thing to be aware of the fungus (it has always been around us) rather to be anxious and scared about it.
