I got very sick three weeks ago with all the typical covid symptoms, wasnt able to get tested. am recovering now and able to work again remotely. is it necessary to share this with family and friends once the lockdown ends? are there long-term risks

Yes: You should share this information with your family and friends as you may be shedding virus and you should confirm your diagnosis with antibody testing.

See below: Glad that you are recovering- since you are not sure if you had the covid virus, I would consider getting an antibody test to check for immunity, and I would tell family and friends - knowing your status will help you and them about further interactions- If you had covid, you should probably see your physician and check for problems (lung etc) which could have been caused by the virus
