Ct score and other blood parameters will be normal in initial days of infection, there is a possibility of getting worse in further days , monitor oxygen levels frequently , older age with oxygen level less than 95 needs oxygen requirement,
U need to be followed regularly and monitored ,

Grade 2 is a very vague term.
Her condition depends on saturation and heart rate.
If at normal heart rate below 90, she maintains 95 saturation, then only it is normal.
Cough and loose stools are covid induced.
She should be admitted for proper monitoring.
Covid is curable, if you take correct and timely treatment.

Since she is at extreme of age as well as she had developed symptoms, yes surely she is at higher risk.
But since she is maintaining a good spo2 she is doing well till now.
If u would have shared the CT report and comorbid condition of her if any I would have better guided u.
