First step is to regularly use a tongue cleaner , increase your water intake.
Visit a dentist if the symptoms persist. We need to consider your overall health status. A white patch anywhere in oral cavity can be a fungal infection and can be a sign of reduced immunity. Hence examintaion in a clinic can give a better idea.

Hello
Hope you are doing well now following all the precautions.
If the symptoms still persist, visit the dentist for proper physical examination as it may be a sign of infection or any other cause.
Drinking water and other fluids regularly may gradually reduce the condition.
Take multivitamin supplements and a balanced diet.
