Hello there. No need to worry. RT PCR tests for RNA of the virus and can be rarely detected when the virus is dead. This means viral parts are present in the body but they cannot cause disease.
Next Steps
Consult for further clarification.

You need not to worry as in many patients RTPCR remains positive for 2-3 months without any significant symptoms, so dont panic and dont take any medication.
Next Steps
Do on cbc, crp and chest.
