COVID 19: Reportedly you should not be contagious 10 days after resolution of your last COVID 19 symptoms. Possibly having had COVID 19 doesn't mean that your body can't fight viruses. It is just that this is a novel virus so people don't already have some level of immunity to it.

Remotely possible: It is remotely possible depending on whom you have had contact with throughout your quarantine. However, with a Covid19 infection, you would expect to see additional symptoms such as fever, chills, dry cough, headache, muscle aches, etc.
