Question

I'm really worried about my dad. Even though he tested negative for COVID three weeks after testing positive, he's not feeling better. He's having a lot of trouble breathing, can't get enough oxygen, has a fever, and has chest pain. Could this still be related to COVID, and what can we do to help him?
