Post covid weakness is very common. Duration of this varies from person to person. It can be for 2-4 weeks. Make sure she has proper diet. And since her age is 89 yrs, keep her under follow up to prevent post covid complications. Kindly do cbc, crp, d-dimer, blood glucose levels. Also monitor her bp, oxygen saturation. Attend any doctor sos. Don't worry much. She will be fine.
