If you are in the Uk it has been named as the Winter vomitting bug. Seems you are infectious to other people up to 2 days after your symptoms have subsided. That is why people are catching it from you.
Symptoms
Projectile vomitting
fever
aches
sweating
Upset stomach

It's not that you're still contagious, it's that they were exposed to it while you were sick and it took time for it to start making them sick. So, while you are starting to feel better, they are just now beginning to feel the symptoms of the bug they'd already caught from you when you were contagious.

Sometimes illnesses have an incubation period before they produce symptoms. They probably picked up the germ from you when you were ill but it is just now rearing it's ugly head.

The most infectioous time for most diseases is during the time you don't yet know you've got it, and during the time you're fully aware of it. You probably passed it to them while you were ill (I hope you wash your hands regular!) and it took a week to incubate in them before coming out in full.

The bug may still be alive in you and you now have an immunity to it. If it's still alive, it still can be spread to others.

at the moment theres alot of sickness bugs and colds/flu/man flu going around. I wouldn't think they have got it from you, most probably doing the rounds, at least you have had it and recovered!

because there's an "incubation" period. It takes a week to 10 days for most viruses to show symptoms.

Your illness was contagious. You have infected others either by physical contact, coughing, sneezing or aerosol from your breath.

You could be a carrier, talk to your doctor who can do some tests to find out.
