A 6 month absence from the US merely puts her ability to naturalize at risk ... make sure she's not out of the US for more than 12 months ... AND ... that she keeps records of her US contacts.

DHS has not published any guidance yet for such circumstances. However, typically if a resident can document his/her stay outside the U.S. was lengthy due to circumstances beyond his/her control, she would not be deemed to abandon his/her residence. She should returned to the U.S. as soon as she can safely do so.

We are not as yet seeing DHS/USCIS issue guidance regarding long absence from the US from COVID-19. Existing rules provide one doesn't abandon a green due to long absence from the US beyond one's control.
