IMO, if expose to water like rain and sprays, decouple the camera and the lens + cover for 2 days before mounting back.

It is possible. Moisture don't get out as fast and fungus gets a change to grow. Similar reason as to folks who experience fungus between the filter and lens in dry cabinet.

But often not required unless expose to water.
