It’s probably not really an issue once it’s dried out. I would make sure everything is completely dried out though.
If you’re worried, you could paint all the problem areas with a few coats of BIN primer to encapsulate things. BIN is pretty good at blocking and sealing things — some of the common uses for BIN are to block tobacco smoke smell and cat urine smell when doing renovations.

Would you recommend testing with a moisture meter to determine if it is ok to close up?
Would sanding the surface help?
I’m not worried about the smell or anything like that, mainly just damaging the wood or causing mold
