I hope you feel better soon! If you’d like advice from a random internet stranger, be sure to rest way more than you think you need to for a few weeks. Some studies have found an association between long COVID and exertion while sick.

do you by chance have any articles or studies you could link that you've ran across. I tried with google but there's a lot of articles out there that promote exercise. I was told "not to rest too much" by a relative who heard it from a friend who is an anesthesiologist but I didn't follow that advice and instead rested as much as possible. My relative who refused to rest is 3 weeks out from their illness and are still has chest congestion and fatigue so it feels like important information to get to them.

Here’s a Time article: https://time.com/6215346/covid-19-rest-helps/

I hope you can convince your relative to slow down and rest!
