There were probably many reasons for your high heart rate at the beginning of Covid including fever, lower oxygen levels, discomfort, dehydration, etc. Now that you are recovering, these things are improving so your heart rate is naturally decreasing back to normal. Your heart rate being a little lower than your baseline may be due to decreased activity while recuperating and is fine. Good luck
