He has most likely developed post COVID fibrosis which will recover gradually over the weeks. You can consider discharging him with home Oxyzen if there is no other signs and symptoms of superadded secondary infection. Talk to ur treating physician about this. He is better person to guide u about this as he is daily seeing the patient progress.
