I don't think you have anything to worry about. Mold's enemy is dryness. With 20% humidity the place is going to dry out quick and even if some mold tries to grow in the interim it will die at such low humidity.
We had a mold problem in my basement and cured it completely with dehumidifiers. After a year of being bone dry no active mold could be detected.
