moisture will take years to dry out from behind a wallboard as the wallboards are usually coated with a moisture resistant coating, the decorative finish that you see.
Best to but a small circular vent about the size of a 10p cut it into the wallboard it will look ment if you do it right. this will allow the trapped moisture to escape. This trapped moisture can lead to further damage to timbers if left unattended.

We had a reading of 30 in our caravan in the bathroom. There was also water drops visible on the wall. The fault was found to be where the roof and back meet, there was a gap that two fingers would go in. This has been repaired and although the water ingress is cured the readings have lowered at the service the following year. It does take time to dry out.

Covers stop water ingress from rain, but can actually increase moisture levels if it’s not of a good quality breathable type. Just think of it as being the same as wearing a poly bag in the rain. You’ll be wet on the inside but not by any water penetrating the bag, but by the build up of moisture as it can’t escape.
