Agree with dr gladson although be on the lookout for symptoms like facial pain, swelling , pain behind eyes, numbness on face ., Persistent nasal blockage and crust formation black in colour ... It's rare in mild to moderate cases ... But unjudicious use of steroids can change the scenario

No! The black fungus or mucor mycosis is an opportunistic fungal infection acquired in hospitalised patients who have been treated with too much steroids and antibiotics, thereby considerably weakening their immune system to allow the mucor spores to invade their nose, and sinuses and thereon to their brain!
You on the other hand, have recovered from Vivid, do obviously have a robust immune system which will not allow any such fungi to attack your body.
