Either of these should work (if n is known, e.g. 10):

Thread[Array[x, 10] > 0]

{x[1] > 0, x[2] > 0, x[3] > 0, x[4] > 0, x[5] > 0, x[6] > 0, x[7] > 0,
   x[8] > 0, x[9] > 0, x[10] > 0}

And @@ Thread[Array[x, 10] > 0]

x[1] > 0 && x[2] > 0 && x[3] > 0 && x[4] > 0 && x[5] > 0 && x[6] > 0 &&
   x[7] > 0 && x[8] > 0 && x[9] > 0 && x[10] > 0

If n is NOT known, nothing will work.
