Tested positive for covid 7 days ago. am i still contagious now if i test positive again today or have symptoms?

You are still contagious most likely. It differs from one person to another based on their immunity and ability to shed the virus and disseminate it when careless about others around. It is important to be considerate of others in your hygiene practices to limit dissemination to others by respiratory droplets and to increased hand hygiene. You may also want to get medication to improve ur chances.
