His concern, that she could have gone in with flu, but sat lying in the Covid ward may well end up with it.

Seems a fair concern. Not sure where she should go though.
Presumably she is not in a single room. Unfortunately our chronically underfunded NHS does not have enough of these.

On the balance of probabilities, she is far more likely to have Covid than flu. Even pre Covid, most chest infections were not flu. Unfortunately, if she did not come in with it, if she is sharing space with others who do have Covid, she is likely to get it.
