Risk factors for black fungus
1. Uncontrolled diabetic
2. High dose steroids
3. Hospital contamination (unsterile mask)
4. Immunosuppression: HIV, bone marrow transplant
If you don't have these risk factors, you will not get black fungus.
Black fungus(mucor) is omnipresent.
Hence when our immunity reduces due to above mentioned 4 factors, we will get the infection.
Covid patient with the above 4 risks can get mucor.
Otherwise they are safe.

Not all patients are at risk of fungus infection.
It depends a lot on the drugs / treatment you have taken and your lab report.
Generally , after 14-21 days of first symptom - if you have no other symptoms , you are not at any risk.
