I went to the er on monday and was told i slightly had pneumonia in lung, this was on monday the 27th, doctor gave me doxycyline 100mg, started taking on monday, taking it for 7days. my work is making me wear a mask all day. am i still contagious??

Most pneumonia is not contagious at all. However, pneumonia can be triggered by influenza, COVID, or other upper respiratory viral infection. Perhaps that's why your work requires masking. If you do not have such an infection, there is no need for it.
