In my wife peripheral smear report, it is mentioned that a few activated lymphocytes are seen. Could you please help me understand what this means? Her CBC parameters are normal, and her urine report is also normal.

I tested COVID 19 positive. After completing about 15 days of isolation, I had a Complete Blood Count test to check if everything was alright. I would like to know if my report is normal or if I need any medications or further tests. Please find my report attached.

I am sharing my report and just want a review on it. My platelets are low and lymphocytes are high. Is it okay and what should I do?
