RTPCR TENDS TO REMAIN POSITIVE FOR A MAXIMUM OF 3MONTHS DUE TO VIRAL SHEDDING SO NO POINT IN REPEATING AN RTPCR IF YOU ARE DIAGNOSED WITH COVID LAST MONTH
Next Steps
YOU CAN GO FOR A RAPID ANTIGEN TEST TO CONFIRM THAT YOU ARE NEGATIVE

Its a false positive result. This remains positive uptill 2 months . But you cannot spread infection . Still follow the covid protocols , wear mask ,and use hand sanitizer

This is mainly false positive due to dead viral load in the blood no point in rtpcr test, go for antigen test for conformation.
