Please check gis medication list whther he was on steroids for covid, Steroids can increase blood sugar levels..and high sugar levels can also cause frequent urination
Next Steps
in case he was on steroids, just talk to endocrinologist to adjust the diabetic meds . also please note that if he was not diabetic earlier, this can be a symptom of diabetes. So he needs titration of Medicarions accordingly

Hello dear
In post covid recovery phase it is common to have mild fever as the viral load is still there which is not enough to be tested positive by RT-PCR. This fever may last for 10-12 days depending how fast recovery is happening.
Next Steps
Monitor SpO2 on regular basis
