I have been diagnosed with covid 19. I started feeling feverish the day right after the holi. We were tested in our office on Friday and my report was positive.

Please check my sentences.
 
I think the OP is referring to the festival of "holi", when people run through the streets having paint thrown at them. If that's the case, your opening is OK except we wouldn't use the definite article.

You need "result", not "report".

I started feeling feverish the day after Holi. I was tested the next day at work and got a positive Covid result.

It should be noted that if you had Covid symptoms, you should not have gone to work the next day.
 
Do you mean the holiday?

No, I am referring to the festival of holi. I played a lot with water and colours(with my relatives) and I started feeling sick the day after.
 
Sorry to hear about your positive Covid result, then. I hope your 14-day isolation period isn't too stressful. You'll have plenty of time to study English - that's a silver lining!

I highlighted an error. Can you fix it?

I hope you don't develop a bad case of Covid.
 
I do hope you're OK. Also, you are unlikely to develop it in 24 hours, so you probably caught it before.

The word "holi" should have been written as "Holi". Am I correct?

It is really stressful. I am locked in my room. I am tense. My mom knocks the door and puts my food outside my room. I pick it up and eat. I am very stressed and can't eat properly. I want to go back to the gym. I can't sit like this. I was a bit scared in regard to my mom's helth. My mom has got the first shot of the corona vaccine(This is the only good thing that has happened these days) and she has to get the second shot in a few days so, I am a bit relieved.

I went to the hospital two weeks before Holi because I suspected that there was an unwanted growth underneath my tongue that I thought was cancerous. I could have consulted the doctor online as well but that was a very small pimple like growth so, I had to see the doctor in person otherwise I wouldn't have gone there however, I did wear two masks when I went there and kept sanitizing my hands. I got it because of my weak immune system.

I wrote it with a capital "H" in post #3. I thought you would notice.
 
Fans of Boney M might call it the Holi Holiday. I'll get my coat.
