As long as she is dependent on oxygen she has to be there with oxygen, and since how long is she having covid symptoms if it is more than 2 weeks, she should be normal in a week or so
However you be positive that she is maintaining oxygen saturation that is good sign, hopefully she will recover in a week's time.
