I would not tell anyone about a positive COVID test just as I would not tell anyone about any other medical conditions I might have. Primarily, this is because it is none of their business and there are more interesting and positive things to talk about. However, the story shared above provides even more reason to keep private medical information private.
I would, of course, inform anyone who I had been in close contact with at a time when I might have been contagious.
I would also be sure to remember who my friends were. Those that acted as though there was a scarlet letter on my chest would most likely be dropped from my Christmas card list.
