Your treating Doctor will plan it best.
Remdesvir even though recently found out to be ineffective but still can be given in active phase of covid requiring oxygen support.
But life saving is steroids .
Make sure steroid/remdesvir/LMWH goes in for the patient.
He will escalate and require more oxygen - better to manage in a tertiary care setup with icu availability
