It's always a worry for a son/daughter if their parents are sick, even more when they have crossed 60. But no need to worry. Monitor temperature, BP, saturation. Continue isolation. I think your father's CRP is 3.3. Continue BP medications if he is taking any, if not then he have to start one with proper measurement & consultation. Have to do a liver function test also.
Go through a antipyretic, antihistaminics, bronchodilators if needed & without any contraindications. Keep vitals monitored. Consult for further queries. Wish a speedy recovery of your father.

His blood pressure is elevated.
Blood sugar levels-if they are fasting blood sugar reports, they are also elevated.
Wbc levels appear decreased.
Next Steps
Medication for symptomatic treatment can be started after discussing with him.
He may continue home quarantine if his condition is not deteriorating clinically
