Usually this could be because of inactive virus retained in the body, if your general condition is good then nothing to worry about.

Rtpcr can remain positive for 1-2 months because of the dead virus that's why repeat testing isnt recommended.
If it's past 10 days since onset of symptoms with no fever for 3 consecutive days then you've likely recovered.
Stay isolated for 1 more week for safety purpose and then resume normal duties.
